Roses Unlimited sale for $8 per gallon

10 years ago

There's a thread in the Roses forum, which Tammy in TN listed roses on sale at RU for $8 started Friday June 14. I didn't allow pop-up on my computer, so it didn't show the sale page ... until I fixed it. Thank you, Tammy!

I kept calling this Monday morning June 17 ... RU phone was always busy, I could not get through. So I checked my email, Pat Henry wrote back to what I asked on Sat.
I sent her another e-mail asking RU to reserve such and such. Within 2 minutes, Pat Henry answered my e-mail.

Pat Henry is always prompt in answering e-mails, if people are sure and ready to pay. I was surprised that out of the 8 roses I wanted at 11:25 this Monday morning June 17, only 1 NOT available (Ulrich Brunner Fils) .... so there are plenty left.

Happy shopping...

You're welcome :) I was able to get 14 of the 15 that I requested. Jules was the only one sold out..not too bad, and including shipping to my zone, it was only $187

Thank you, Strawberry and Tammy. I'll see if RU is stocking a couple that I've been trying to acquire.

Mine arrived Wednesday p.m. Unpacking was tricky given elaborate packaging and fading light, but that packaging got 4 nice-sized roses to me without any damage, so no complaints. I received 3 Teas ('Souvenir de Victor Hugo', 'Enchantress' and 'Maman Cochet'' and 1 Noisette: 'Mount Vernon Purple Noisette' AKA 'Mrs Woods Lavender-Pink Noisette'. All are good-looking plants, but I am especially captivated by 'Enchantress' with her neat habit and gorgeous foliage. I potted them up in 3-gallon pots the next morning- here's a photo of them just after that, but before some staking was added to stabilize them- 'Enchantress' really didn't need staking, but the other three were a bit wobbly in their pots... An early-morning rain was a nice welcome, and so the photo's a bit glarey- the large pot in the back has a fig tree in it (and a couple of volunteer squashlings).

Hi, Barb. This thread's unfortunately from 4 years back - sorry! (Often wander into old threads myself, mistaking them for current ones.) Sale this year was from June 6-14. New website for Roses Unlimited is https://rosesunlimitedsc.com/ Phone 864-682-7673 from 9-3 EST - Email rosesunlmt@aol.com Closed Monday & Tuesday this week for the 4th of July holiday, but back on Wednesday. The good news is that they are still shipping on July 10. May be their last shipping date until the weather cools down sometime in September. Use the "Browse" tab at the top right of their homepage for their categories & collections. "About" tab gives info on shipping rates. This year's sale thread - http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/4679378/rose-unlimited-having-sale?n=28 Gail's thread with photos of her roses -http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/4701838/i-picked-up-my-roses-unlimited-sale-roses-yesterday?n=5 They grow a wide selection of roses very well & are held in high regard by many on this forum, including me. Always a treat to get roses you want on sale, but their regular prices are good, too. My order this year was split 50/50 between regular prices & sales. All arrived in great condition & are putting out new growth. Many budding up or blooming already. Sue

Vaporvac: I bought Shocking Blue, Zeph. Drouhin, Savannah, and Orchid Romance. Really kick myself for NOT getting those huge bags of MG-garden-soil for roses sold for $4 each at Walmart early spring. Walmart is sold out, same with HomeDepot, and Lowe's selling it for $9 per bag !! My roses which were grown in MG-moisture-control potting soil had wimpy roots and didn't survive my winter, but my roses which were grown in heavy & wet soil like MG-Garden-soil for roses developed THICK & SOLID roots that survive winter and flower lots. It's even wetter than my clay !! For the record: every own-root (be it tiny band-size) or gallon-size which I planted right smack into my dense & alkaline clay survive many winters, but the ones which I babied in pots (with potting soil) grew wimpy roots that didn't survive zone 5a winter, no matter how I did it: be it putting potting soil into the ground, or grow in pots 1st, then transfer to the ground (my alkaline clay) later. MG-garden-soil for roses (pink-bag with pic. of roses) was on sale at Walmart for $4 per huge bag. That soil is AWESOME in moisture-retention. I had 3 bags opened in hot sun over 90 F: Hyponex potting soil, Scott's premium bagged soil, and MG-garden-soil-for roses. Hyponex dried up into hard-granules, Scott's-top-soil dried up to hard-black-pellets, but MG-soil-for roses STAYED WET AND FLUFFY. I moved W.S. 2000 (own-root) right before winter, and planted that in a bag of MG-garden-soil for roses (only $4), plus mixed In gypsum. W.S. 2000 was the 1st rose to bloom (despite being moved), and having 20+ buds right now as own-root. Own-roots have short roots, so they can't reach down below for minerals, best use a HIGH-MINERALS & HIGH-NUTRIENTS soil like MG-garden-soil-for roses, which has black-peat (de-composed humus), plus peatmoss & pH-balanced to neutral with lime. Fluffy potting soil like MG-moisture control can't enable solid roots for winter-survival, like heavy clay or heavy soil like MG-garden-soil for roses. For newly bought own-roots I have to use a HUGE amount of soluble-fertilizer NPK 20-20-20 weekly to get blooms. Potting soil has zero-nutrients peatmoss, plus a few chemical granular-fertilizer. Too much hassle to fertilize frequently so I would rather use a rich & fertile soil like MG-garden-soil for roses, which is dense & heavy & black peat mixed with peatmoss, rather than fluffy-peat-moss-potting soil which produced wimpy alfalfa-sprout roots and thin canes. I have never seen any black soil which retain moisture as long as MG-garden-soil for roses, see below pic. In contrast, there's the lousy rating for MG-garden soil with mostly wood-chips. Below soil has perfect rating everywhere: Walmart-site, and 33 perfect reviews at HomeDepot site:

I had to restrain myself. I just thought about the fifteen roses sitting in water that I have to pot up to go with the other 14 I got from Breck's, plus the other 25 that have been in pots since 2009! I was tempted, but I forgot my check book and only have the cash for the ones I had ordered! Actually had to get it from my DH! Good thing he was with me.

I emailed her yesterday as well and got a prompt response, and have three roses on order. :)

If you ever get a chance to go visit in person, I was like a kid in a candy store last month at the open house. Absolutely beautiful.

I ordered some as well! But only two were on sale, I think I ordered eight or nine altogether! My mom and I have a trip planned out next year to go visit them, since they are a little over a two hour drive from here. So EXCITED! I asked what time would be the best to visit, so we are planning a trip ahead of time , and I can't wait! Glad everybody got what they wanted! mine were either sold out or not included in the sale! :( but I still got some great ones!

I have never bought a rose at this time of year (although my thoughts are gradually beginning to waft that way in preparation for the bare-root season).....so I am pleasantly blank and not yet mortified that it looks like a roseless year is looming (oh yes, look out for the griping around August when my thoughts are really churning and lists are being made - or not). Because of the woodland thing, I haven't even planted last years roses (and I had to give the really inappropriate ones away) - for the forseeable future, gardening has to become a back-to-basics ground-breaking slog - new roses are not really featuring in it either (at least until a 100 or so poplars have been felled, deer-fencing installed (as if) and the endless field of chest-high weedage accomodated (because I certainly am not going to manage to tame it to my will).
At any rate - I have still been saving my usual pound coins and anticipate a truly stupendous bulb order (seeing as I can buy at least 100 bulbs instead of each rose).

They ship 6 to a box, so that was how many I wanted. 3 that I wanted were sold out, but pleasantly surprised my other choices were available. Stephanie got right back to me and Pat followed up with an email right away.
I got:
Princesse de Nassau
Belle Vichysoise
Apricot Candy
Apricot Queen
Lawrence of Arabia
Aunt Belle's Tea [anyone grow this/have a photo of it?]
