I have purchased roses from both Chamblee and Antique Rose Emporium, and they both send great products, and like Seil mentioned, one season seems to catch them up. I planted the one gallon roses as soon as I received them and they did great!

Have fun!

At $12 each, I'd take 20 of them! :-) DA roses are selling $27-35 each around here. Just 1 year difference in size, no big deal. You will buy more than 10, I am just guessing. I hope you have enough room in your car. :-)

Hi. I live in zone 5 in the Selkirk Mountains of BC. Because I live in a valley with a very large lake, it may ameliorate our climate in general, nevertheless cold snaps here regularly get down to -17C and can last a week or two. Our average cold temperature in winter is about -3 C. I heap soil and/or peat moss up around it after the first frost. It is recommended to make a 12-inch high covering, but that is arduous if you have more than 2 or 3 roses and I soon found out it didn't need that much. As a matter of fact, one year I broke my leg and didn't cover it at all. It died back quite severely, but popped back better than the year before. This year I only did about 6 inches of dirt and topped it off with a heap of pine straw -- the dropped needles of a long-needled pine tree. I had no winter die back at all. Lots of people here grow HTs, but as I say, they are generally not long-lived in this climate. The Taboo (Barkarole) is about 10 years old (and failing), but with only 4-1/2 hours of sunlight a day it's amazing it has lasted this long. I have seen HTs in this area that have obviously been growing many years, though.

I'm trying to plant varieties that are trouble-free, easy care roses that don't need protecting, because like you say, it becomes a lot of work covering them all, and then again in the spring removing all the covering.

Rosecandy VA, zone 7

I have to second Dinglehopp3r's experience with Heirloom. Their plants always arrive so healthy that when I first ordered from another (wonderful) nursery I was shocked to see some dead wood that wasn't clipped off. The roses from the other nursery are still healthy and doing well, but when I received my order from Heirloom the difference in health was very obvious even to a inexperienced rose lover like me.

That said: is this the rose you're talking about? If so, then both Chamblee and Heirloom Roses have it. Both nurseries have an excellent reputation.

Well, I have the original Dyson model which I purchased in 2005, and it's still going strong. If my Sammy didn't chew on it a few times over the years, it'd still be in perfect condition. So right now, there's duct tape on part of the hose, and electrical tape wrapped around parts of the cord -- but it's still just as strong as the day I got it.

Sammy is a very naughty boy, Christopher. I thought you had him well-trained!

I went with DA because all of the local ones were limited to either Don Juan(have a giant climber already), knockout(not interested), or drift (wanted bigger blooms).

Help Me Find Roses lists two US sources.

Rogue Valley Roses

Angel Gardens

They both have websites and they are both reputable dealers. If you don't see it listed as available on their websites try calling them. Sometimes they may have one or two plants around but not enough to put on the site. Or you can ask if they have plans to have it in the near future and be put on a waiting list.

Fragrance? Not sure..Will go home and smell! Went to Bestbuy and change my new phone to different color. Lost all the pics but thanks to GW (opps..!) I can look at them here. ALMD refuses to go up the homemade arch,instead she just want to lounge . Stiff canes for such a dainty little lady.

Lucky you, I don't have good experiences with purple roses. The only one that is alive and doing well is Wild Blue Yonder. Other than that, they all went to heaven.

SoFL Rose z10

Ooh!! This is a toughie, but why is it so fun to think about them and admire each bush for one reason or another. Here's my list:

#1 dames de chennonceau: just huge beautiful blooms that open fully and are just superb in every way. A strong bush with few problems (disease or otherwise)

#2 moonstone: just huge and almost always perfect blooms not to mention a perfuse bloomer

#3 evelyn: not the most profuse bloomer, but just magnificent and although her scent isn't particularly strong, it is delicious

#4 Veteran's honor: for its perfect form and lasting power

#5 Chicago Peace: for its huge blooms and amazing color

Runner ups: cherry parfait, sugar moon, Jude the obscure (none compares to her fragrance), pope John Paul, Huntington Rose (austin) aka Alan Titchmarsh

Without more info (growing habit, height, date/place of purchase, etc.), I'll submit "Playgirl".

I have 23 Knock Out rose trees, I don't cut the trees way back, just a light hair cut to make them around on top.

If they are standards (tree shaped with a single trunk) don't cut the top off. You will be left with just the rootstock

It smells because it hasn't been aerated, and the oxygen is depleted from the mixture. "Bad" is supposed to be good, in this case. Use it.
