Ferns

Ferns are essential in shade gardens. They provide spectacular foliage and many dif- ferent shades of green. They combine beautifully with Hosta and other shade plants and fill spaces left by early spring bulbs such as Narcissus and tulips. They are tough, long- lasting and easily grown. They are low-maintenance plants that have excellent disease and insect resistance. For optimum results, grow them in a cool location with well- drained and moisture-retentive soil.

An annual application of organic fertilizer and compost is preferred for the one-time-blooming shrubs, with small additions of other fertilizers to boost the repeat bloomers. All are winter hardy and do not require “tipping.” The roses are listed by name and classification (Shrub, Alba, etc.) in accordance with ARS standards. The roses are potted for your convenience. The newly developing roots are fragile and may be damaged during transplanting which would cause growth set-back. Please use caution when spreading the root systems. Old Garden roses are defined as those types or classes of roses which were in exis- tence prior to 1867: Alba, Bourbon, Centifolia, Damascena, Gallica, Hybrid Foetida, Hybrid Multiflora, Hybrid Perpetual, Hybrid Spinosissima, Moss, Noisette, Portland and the species roses.
