Ohio Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance Rose Sales
Comments (18)Eric, and whomever else can't come on the 14th, this garden is always open to the public, so you can come any time. It's well worth the trip. I saw it only once before, two years ago, and have talked and thought about it ever since. It's especially a revelation for a California gardener, since there are OGRs growing there so much better than we can do in our warm climates, including many that I'd never seen before. For you zone 5/6 folks, here's a collection that's survived for thirty-five years, with bushes of magnificent, mature size. Anita...See Morewant to buy roses in Ft. Worth, Tx, please help!
Comments (6)Both post lists online so you can see if they carry what you want before you go: http://www.nhg.com/guides/category/plant-lists/ and http://www.covingtonnursery.com/retail-nursery.htm. North Haven has annual rose event the first week of March/Last week of February every year, so many harder to find varieties sell out. People line up at 7:30am to get in. They do not update their list as their inventory diminishes, but Covington actually updates their entire stock list every evening. So, if it is on the Covington available stock list they likely have it. If you do go to Tyler then Breedloves for David Austins (they usually keep only a few varieties, but the healthiest of plants) and Chamblee's for own root (they have a big selection). Lastly, sometimes you can buy directly from Certified Roses and Roses USA. They are huge whole sale operations that supply to the Big Boxes. I don't think they normally sell to the public and are usually closed on weekends. We've been lucky and picked up off season discounted roses there for as little as $5 (Mister Lincoln, Fragrant Cloud, Mirandy, lavender crush and Pink Peace). These guys primarily carry grafted hybrid teas and landscape roses though, so if those aren't your cup of tea I wouldn't bother. These are literally the roses that will get shipped to Walmart, Home Depot, etc. Happy Hunting!...See More2008 Bargain and Garden Show & Sale Hunts
Comments (28)Yesterday, I dropped into one of the Canadian Tires in Guelph for something. I just had to walk down to the flower end, and noted that they had potted foxglove on sale. They were in amazing shape, not root bound, healthy, just starting to bloom, and a very good price. I actually left and checked out walmart ( which had nothing of interest ) and Home Depot ( whichh had even less of interest ). I actually went back to Canadian Tire and got a couple to stick into the garden. I also picked up some Black Eyed Susans which were in good shape, and found a couple of corners to stick them in. If I hadn't trimmed my hedges in the morning, I wouldn't have had the space to fill. That should teach me a lesson or two. LOL...See MoreLiz Druitt's Organic Rose Garden on sale
Comments (2)Thank you, Ann. What a list of bargains! Wouldn't you know: Hamilton, like Powell's, will not ship to Canada. Ah, well, there's a lot of coin I get to keep in my pocket that should be spent on other things anyway. Elk....See Morestrawchicago z5
