Spring is arriving for many of us and shipments are on the way. Where have you ordered roses from this year? I have roses coming from Jackson Perkins, David Austin, Edmunds, Heirloom and Wisconsin Roses.
I’ve ordered roses from Grace Rose Farm, Palatine, Edmunds, Hortico, Roses Unlimited, Regan, A Reverence For Roses, Heirloom, Wisconsin Roses, Burlington, Life In Rose Farm, and Roses LLC.

Wow…sounds like I want to see your garden. Do you exhibit and enjoy?
Absolutely love the Antique Roses Emporium. Great roses and amazing shipping boxes!!

I do exhibit in the local shows but that’s about it.
I am fortunate to have several local rose nurseries within driving distance. I always check their stock first before ordering online. That works for Modern roses and some OGRs. Miniatures and Minifloras require a hunt!

This year I am only buying albas, adding back up bushes and replacing some which were sacrificed to an aggressive fence builder. I ordered from High Country Roses, Roses Unlimited, Rose Fire, and Palatine.
Gary Osborn has exhibition plants on rosa multiflora. Traveling to Iowa to pick up some more. He buds out his plants, so for those of us in winter areas (Colorado Springs), they have better survival. Burlington Roses has lots of Ralph Moore plants, plus her unusual brown tones. High Country with Matt Douglas provides plants that are own-root and affordable ($25 and $17 for shipping/-several). We have 397 plants, so my husband and myself focus on replacement ones for the exhibition table.
