I'd go broke in that place.

What a fun day that must have been!

LOL. You are right Ken. When I left the place my wallet is much lighter :)

Oh dear lord. I'd be in heaven. what all did you end up with??

Wow! Looks beautiful this time of yr! I went down there about 17yrs ago. It was summertime and they didn't have nearly as many roses back then. Looks like they expanded the inventory quite a lot.

Thank you for posting these pictures. It was like being able to visit myself...however...

$55 for a rose bush? nonononononono...smh...

I could spend hours there! First time I've seen Heathcliff and it would have leaped into my car. Huntington Rose and Princess Alexandra would have gone along for the ride. Thanks for taking all these great pictures!

Thanks for posting these photos, Bayareagirl. I've wanted a look at Regan Nursery for years. The climbing Wedgwood Rose was stunning. I want that. I did notice their selection is pretty much the same as my favorite nursery here--there are just more of each rose. But a what a difference in price from those in Boise. The very same size Austins range from about $28-30 here in the big pots, as opposed to $55 at Regan, which is quite a difference. Diane

Great post Bayareagirl. It's great to see all those wonderful roses offered at the nursery. I'll make a shopping trip during the Labor Day sale.

Be still my heart ! Loved the trip thru the roses!

What fun! I always love going to the nurseries and being able to see the live plants, rather than going by a photo when choosing. But yes, they are pricey! I wouldn't have been able to resist a few of those, though...

Very interesting to see nurseries at other areas, in my case another country. I am envious at all those choices of Austin's roses. I am waiting for my local nurseries to carry them. I would go broke in that place. I may have to get a part time job watering their plants to make up for my spending.

I love the Wedgwood Rose, it's so beautiful! I have to find one. Thanks for posting all the wonderful photos, I can see $54.99 for a DA rose tree, but it's not a tree price..... how much is The Wedgwood Rose? $89.99? Just guessing......

Thank you everyone. I did all my bare roots order with them around fall last year and their bare roots price is reasonable and if you order at least three, you get 10% off. The quality of their bare roots are excellent. This year their David Austin bare roots aren't as big and strong as last year but I guess that maybe because of the weird weather we have been having.

Bare Roots:
- non David Austin: $20 => after 10% off is $18
- David Austin: $23 => after 10% off is $21

Their 5-gal potted roses aren't cheap. I just went there to pick up my Black Magic roses at $45/each. After the 10% discount it is $40. I think 5-gal David Austin is about $50, after the discount it is $45.

I notice some David Austin roses have price as $55 I wonder if that is because they are bigger plants or harder to find and Regan might have paid a higher price for them.

Some other nurseries offer a bit cheaper but either they don't carry David Austin roses or don't have as many varieties. I think if someone plans to buy a lot of roses, then order bare roots earlier in the year is the way to go, so much cheaper. If you couldn't find certain bare root roses but they are available at this time as potted then it's all right to buy a couple roses. If you want more then just wait a few more months to order bare roots at a cheaper price.

With the higher rent and water cost, I hope that rose nurseries in Silicon Valley (and CA) can survive. Otherwise, where should rose junkies go to get more? LOL.

Summersrhythm, if I remember correctly that Wedgwood rose price is around $110 - $120. I can be wrong. You can call and check with them. I just checked their website and they don't have it for sale as bare root.

bayarea_girl, Thanks for the fine photos of the roses and not the usual pictures of just the blooms! I have Austin's Charlotte (I think it is Charlotte) which I'm training the canes around a tall garden stake to try and make a pillar and it is growing nicely in a container. Your fine photo of "The Wedgewood Rose" proves it can be done. Very useful and pretty photos. I love eye candy!

Last year the potted pillar roses the size of The Wedgwood Rose in the picture were priced at $150. One year they had an absolutely jaw-dropping Gertrude Jekyll.

Re The Wedgwood Rose. It's been in my garden for several years now (purchased from Regan's; 5 gallon shrub). This rose is one that has me completely flummoxed- I can't figure out what it wants to be happy. the gossamer-thin petals are easily damaged in wind and rain, and the blooms don't open on cold, foggy days. The most blooms I have had in one flush is a sum total of 7 - this year. At least they are normal-sized; for the longest time they were the size of a quarter. The blooms in the fall are far prettier, and it likely wants more summer heat than I get here right by the Bay. It may be the first Austin to be evicted from my garden...water is too precious.

Jo

Thanks for sharing all the photos. Fun to see that place.

Thank you Bayarea_girl for checking. I will see if I can find it locally. It's snowing here. :-)

Jo, good luck with yours, hope you will get more blooms this year. :-)

Jo, I love that Wedgewood rose. Unfortunately, I don't have space for it. Sounds like it might love the heat I have around here.

Bayarea Girl, I also want a Boscobel. Again, unfortunately, there are not any on their own root. Sigh. Love the pictures. Thank you for taking them and posting!

Thank you for sharing your trip and photos. They are really helpful! I have always wondered what some Austin roses look like as photographed by ordinary cameras and not photoshopped.

Thanks agin Bayarea_girl, I love the Wedgewood rose- just by one look! :-) I ordered some roses from David Austin TX today: The Wedgewood, Wild Eve, Malvern Hills and The Albrighton Rambler.

Thank you everyone.

Thanks Jo. The info that you gave regarding Wedgwood Rose is very useful to many of us.

Karen, you are right. That is one of the reasons I took these pics ;)

Summersrhythm, those are beautiful roses especially Wedgwood Rose. You must have a big garden.

Bay Area Girl I appreciated your photos from 2015 so much! I took some photos today at Regan Nursery, showing how many of these same roses look in the fall. I posted them here if anyone is interested. :)

You guys are KILLING ME with these photos. I wish I could grow roses like this in South Florida. That Wedgewood rose is like a dream!

%50 off sale at Regan's nursery going on NOW. I wish I could go!!! Its in the nursery only so no mail order. OMG! I would go SO BROKE

Yup. I was able to find a lot of what I ordered in person a weeks ago or so... and get 50% off! Then just cancel my online order. It's so nice seeing the roses in person. Plus many of them are about 2 years old already. And I have to go back to Fremont this Sunday for work.

Im bringing the truck. ;)

Anyone local.... go in person if you can!

Wish I was near enough. Can't pass up a bargain. Need it or not!

That Wedgewood rose is so gorgeous. Its on my list for spring. I love that cupped looking form and its a climber. I love my roses to be climbers because the dumb chickens can't reach the blooms lol. Hopefully it does well here. It is still offered on the David Austin website.
