Something I have been wondering about, is where most grafted roses come from? If I understand correctly Weeks Roses located in California is a major supplier to retail nurseries in the US. I've heard of Star Roses and Certified Roses, are they rose growers also? And are there any others? Mainly just curious about this.

Tyler, TX is a major player. Austin's US production is in Tyler, as are a number of others.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tyler Rose Industry

Wasco, CA and Tyler, Texas are the larger rose producing areas in the US. There may still be a bit of production in Arizona. Arena attempted producing there with limited success. That's where their crop with "the creeping, black death" originated. They determined it was likely due to the lack of winter causing the plants not to store sufficient nutrients to successfully break dormancy. Kim

Actually, the production near Phoenix, AZ is larger than Wasco and Tyler combined.

Interesting. I thought AZ would be the last place in the mainland US to produce roses considering their tough ag. regulations.
