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.

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.

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 you’re 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.

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. I’ve been growing
them for over 20 yrs and they are superior to any rose that’s being
hybridized today. I grow over 15 of his varieties.
