| Just received my first order of roses from a nursery I recently discovered on the net, Colvos Creek Nursery, in Washington State. VERY reasonably priced roses. In 4 inch pots, either $5 or $6. I wondered how big they could be at that price, and I was quite favorably impressed at what was sent to me. Roots were coming out the bottom of all pots and the R. polyantha grandifloras were HUGE--their canes were wrapped around the inside of the box they came in, and the owner sent a note saying the deer had munched them so he'd reduced the price to $3 each! Wowza what a bargain! I also ordered 2 R. cantabrigiensis. Price for 4 roses $18--adding shipping brought the total to $30. Below is a link for the catalog, scroll down for the roses. He has a really neat selection of species roses. Not all are in stock. He didn't have any of hemispherica available this year. I'm hoping to get some of his others when they're back in stock.

| Found and lost. How sad. Forest Farm in Oregon has a nice selection of species and some other roses. |
