Roses

Our custom is to offer you roses that have been grown on their own roots. In Annuals cold climates own root roses tend to be hardier and remain true to the original variety should they die back to the ground in the winter. Most modern shrub roses have been developed for disease resistance which lessen the need for chemical spraying. All are winter hardy for Zone 4 and do not require 'tipping'. The roses are potted for your convenience. The newly developed roots Annuals are located outside the are fragile and may be damaged during transplanting which could cause growth set- back.
