ROSES
Order and shipping information.
Certain plants require a specific ship time. In spring or fall, shrubs, roses, and trees are all shipped semi-dormant and semi-bareroot. Since quantities are sometimes limited and items sell out, orders that are placed early are put into our system and the plants requested are held for you until the proper shipping time. We do not charge your credit card until two weeks prior to shipping. We also send notification of the exact ship date so you can be expecting your plants.
Climbers ¦ Buck Roses ¦ Rugosa ¦ Shrub and Olde Roses ¦ Mini Roses
The sizes of plants sold are not young transplants, but field grown plants ready to go into the landscape: the same plants that are sold directly at the nursery. We do not pot all plants in gallon size containers, but pot them in the correct size container for the root system and its required growing space.
The size of the roses shipped are bare-root #1 grade, the same blooming size roses sold in the nursery in 2 gallon containers We prefer to ship roses while they are dormant and can be shipped bare-root, but if cercumstances require they be shipped while in growth, they can be shipped potted. This would require an additional $5.00 per plant freight charge.

A bit about 'Own root roses' Do not confuse these own root roses with small bushes. Ours are full blooming size bushes, but being on their own root they can not freeze out. Bare Root shipped March, April and October only. Potted roses available anytime at the nursery. All varieties on display throughout the borders, rose pergola, and herb garden. The roses offered here, own root or grafted, are ones that will be with you a lifetime, becoming more beautiful with age, so give these bushes room. These are also varieties that are not susceptible to freezing out in bad weather. We have many other miscellaneous varieties at the nursery but not in enough quantity to list. So inquire if youre looking for a particular variety.
Peak bloom for our roses is usually the first week of June.
Balled and Burlapped (B&B) sizes are available on some varieties. These are full grown shrubs that are too large for pots, and are for instant gratification in the garden. Not mail order sizes. Pick up only. Priced as to size. $42.00 and up.
Note: Many of our customers ask about roses that are no longer on the market. We are constantly on the lookout and try to make available the roses that we believe are the best varieties of olde roses that you our customers are looking for. Grower/wholesalers are now more interested in selling their branded varieties with new patents that make them more money, and dropping the tried and true varieties. Continue asking every garden center/nursery that you shop for the varieties you want. Remember all business is customer driven! Read our Fall 2014 Newsletter regarding roses.

DR. GRIFFITH BUCK ROSES
Dr. Griffith Buck of Iowa crosses the Olde Roses with hybrid teas to get the fragrance and hardiness of the olde and the bloom shape of the hybrid tea roses, for roses that are hardy to Z3. Ive been growing them for over 20 yrs and they are superior to any rose thats being hybridized today. I grow over 15 of his varieties.
