Angel Gardens, located 4 miles north of the town of Alachua, Florida which is 10 miles north of Gainesville, home of The University of Florida in North Central Florida (zone 9a) .

Pam Greenewald, the owner, is very knowledgeable and friendly. She managed to get me an old rose that I could not find anywhere else after several years of searching--made one just for me! Terrific rose gardener.

In addition to the excellent Angel Gardens there is also Rose Petal Nursery in Newberry, FL, also near Gainesville. They are open on certain dates and by appointment (check their website). Cydney and Art Wade are the owners. I have purchased good roses from them both.

However both of these nurseries are more in central/north Florida. It would be about a five hour drive to get to either one of them from Miami. I am not personally aware of any old garden rose nurseries near the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area.

Seffner isn't too far. I'll have to check out Kerby's. I had heard of it, but never been there. I might convince my daughter to make that trip with me. (I drive 110 miles a day for my job, I don't even want to make a long trip on a day off!) But it looks like a road trip might be in order. The Weed Patch sounds wonderful! The kind of place that loves roses and wants to share. That's my kind of place. Mapquest shows they are closer to Ocala than Gainesville, a shorter trip for me. I have heard other good reports about Rose Petals. They have a good list of roses on their website. Even by mail order their roses are reasonably priced. Angel Gardens is in the same area, somewhere near Gainesville. So an all day or overnight trip could be very worthwhile. Now just to convince DH we should make the drive. :) Thanks for the information. I knew you folks would know the best places!

I have Twilight Zone, but own root from Chamblees. It is normally purple. Mine doesn't seem to look hot pink. Anyway Kublan- you must have missed one :) because I just picked up my order from Pop's and I found my Distant Drums. Ooooh and I'm glad you did cause its a beauty. My car smelled so good by the time I got him home. I picked up my friend's order as well. I thought all of our bushes looked really nice and healthy. Thanks so much for letting us know about the nursery. For those of you interested in Secret - or anything that was missing from this shippment, the girl told me that they are going to get another shipment probably Late Nov. or early December. You may want to call and see if she thought they would get it in by then. Again, Thanks. I love my new roses.

You have to be more specific than just "OGR" to find the ones which will do well in Florida. Teas, Chinas, Noisettes, and Tea-Noisettes are just four types of OGRs. 'Louise Odier' is a Bourbon, and while an OGR, probably isn't suitable for Florida. 'The Fairy' is a Polyantha, and with that Multiflora background probably isn't suited to alkaline soils found in much of Florida. Meanwhile, four you mentioned as doing well -- 'Duchesse de Brabant', 'Duquesa', 'Mrs. B. R. Cant', and "Spice" -- are Teas, and Teas thrive in areas with little or no Winter. I have a bunch of Chinas and Teas here in NJ, and they are rarely without bloom through the growing season, but get hit hard by Winters here. Check out Rose Petals Nursery or Angel Gardens -- two Florida rose nurseries -- and search under the Teas, Chinas, Noisettes, and Tea-Noisettes. These types do very well in warm climates, usually blooming all year. Other types of OGRs -- such as Bourbons, Hybrid Perpetuals, Portlands, or the once-blooming types -- likely won't do well for you, though there may be random exceptions. :-) ~Christopher

It's that time of the year when he places his order. Forgive the plug, but he's one of the few that sells roses on Fortuniana at an exceptionally reasonable price ($16 last year). I'm giving him my suggestions soon.

Yes Cool Roses, in Palm Beach County, has roses on Fortuniana roots, mostly moderns but some old roses. Rose Glen Nursery in Naples has own-root old roses.

Galloway Nursery (if it is still there) in Miami sometimes had old roses. There was a rosarian many years ago down in Homestead who used to sell roses, might try contacting a local rose society...ya never know ....

I am from South Florida.

I just purchased some roses from Cool Roses in West Palm Beach. I did not know about them until someone on this website posted about a sale they were having. I am very pleased with my selection. The people there are very nice and informative. They have a nice selection of roses. I think they said they were closing down for the summer or that their hours would be different for the summer. You might want to call before you go. Also their website DOSE NOT reflect all of the selection that they have. They have so many more roses. If there is something you wish to purchase particularly you might want to call and ask if they have it. However, I was pleasantly pleased .... all most overwhelmed.... by their selection at the sale. I was expecting to find only the roses on their website.
