High Country Roses Fall Frenzy Sale

9 years ago

I called today to check into roses that were listed as out of stock (knowing sometimes nurseries might have a few left) or not on the webpage, and I lucked out not only because they did have some of the roses that I wanted but also because they had a sale about to start. So I got my roses at the sale prices--some as low as $12.71.

One of the plants not on the web is Suzanne, so in case anyone is interested in this rose they have one or two left, but you'd need to call.

Thanks for this! I went ahead and ordered a Gloire de Dijon last night when I saw your post. I was hoping they still had it in stock after hearing about Diane's success so far with GdD from High Country. It's one of the roses I put in my top ten the first time I looked through a Rose Encylcopedia. I don't think it's lost any ground in my mind in the few years since. I sure hope it works out.

Suzanne looks lovely. If we got winter chill, I'd be very interested.

They had great plants I had not seen elsewhere. And an order over 100 got free shipping. It priced out to about 5.75 a plant, which is what used to be charged for the small pots. Alas, smaller pots are much less available. Someone told me the growers and retailers are going for bigger pots because the plants are easier to keep alive for the retailer and gardener. I got some interesting plants I've been reading about. Fragrant currant, which supposedly has a heavenly clove scent; a lower sumac but different than low-grow; e. ARt's Pride, some unusual shade loving woodland lilies; and two honeysuckles I've never seen for sale in a nursery.But then I don't get to half as many nurseries as some people I know. I do not hold this against hcg, but getting an order through the website was impossible.Literally, I tried 4 times and it rejected a part of the payment information. My first attempt to order on the telephone was very annoying. The prices were not coming up as sale prices and there was nothing the poor 'order taker' could do. Then she told me there was a problem because it was being shipped to zone 6. Finally customer service put the order through in the daytime. Then, someone reported me at work for doing personal business and I got talked to by my supervisor. I was being bad, I know, but how I hate tattletales in the workplace!I would never report someone about that unless it became chronic and was abusing trust. But I'm not letting that spoil my anticipation of the order. Or thinking about what the plants will look like in a year. Marie

I don't do the coldframe,mulch or anything. I don't pot up the bands first either, i just plant them. No book in the world or nursery for that matter will advise you to do that. We are not talking about cuttings, or at least i hope not, the bands should be 6-18months old, and well rooted, the summer is actually harder on them than the fall and winter. The roots will continue to grow until the ground freezes which really depends on your area. Where i live even though it is warmer is actually harder on them because we don't get a reliable snow cover. If you live in an area that constantly thaws and freezes would be harder on them. the worst thing is early spring if it warms up enough to break dormancy, and then it freezes solid for a week. That's why a later blooming rose or one that comes out of dormancy later will be more reliably cold hardy. It's really a part of the learning experience, as no one can guess the weather or control nature. Now if you are growing a tender rose out of it's zone, you need to take protective measures, even then you have to be diligent about removing the protection at the right time because even though nature can be very forgiving, many times it is ruthless. bad gardners like me have to rely on the more natural thing and avoid pots, and growing things out of their element, because they will surely die, it takes a more attentive and skilled person than I. and what i returned to say was that i have ordered a couple of times from high country also and they have always sent me really healthy plants that have done well whether planted spring or fall.

Your comment must have been fate, mmmm12, as it led me to reread the entire post and find Ingrid's comment about Quicksilver buried within it. I've been going on about this rose, but haven't bought it as I like to only get from a couple of vendors to save on shipping. I had hoped to get it from Lowe's, but they are not getting in the "good" roses at the moment as their shelves are flooded due to Covid. As luck would have it, I had already ordered a goodly number of roses from Matt so emailed to see if it was too late to add it. Please keep your fingers crossed. I may still get another grafted one from Lowe's later in the season, but would feel much better to at least have one going in this year for certain. Please keep your fingers crossed that the other roses haven't shipped!

I appreciate the post too! I hadn't ordered from HCG in a while so you prompted me to check out some fun roses I'd had my eye on. I wasn't sure if this sale would be applied to spring delivery of roses, but being a company that understands cold weather conditions I wasn't surprised to find the spring delivery option already available!

Hi Melissa

Ah, true confession time! Normally I'd be sheepish about reporting these things but I lost a lot of roses over the Polar Vortex winter and I "only" ordered nine from HCG (so far, I still might be tempted):

AC Navy Lady - I'd had my eye on this dark beauty for a while but didn't want to order from Hortico, so this was a great chance
Fourth of July, Cl. - This one hasn't established well for me grafted so I want to try it own root, since stripes are a must.
Ferdinand Pichard - same as above - hoping third time's the charm
Zephirine Drouhin - also on my wish list for a while, and I still have fence space for climbers, particularly thornless ones
Morden Blush - for my "East Side Survivors" bed
Lilian Austin - because you can never have too many Austins in my climate
Smoke Rings - russet color to die for
Ruby Voodoo and Hula Hoop - colors sounded intriguing and I love to try new things to me. Besides for the latter, you can never have enough tributes to the late great Ralph Moore either.

So your turn, Melissa - what did you buy?

Cynthia

I saw they had Gloire de Dijon and I am sorely considering it! I desire to land the little stinker in a container due to reports of it being dudly own root. However; other reports of success make me inclined to just say 'No'.
Afterall- whatever would I do with a monster from that class here up north other than murder it? :)

GdD is all gone now. Others must have scooped it.

High Country Roses is an excellent nursery, at least in my personal experience. I highly recommend them.
