Northland rosarium sale
Comments (10)Haha !! I'm glad I'm not the only one on a little break . They do have some good ones . If I were to order I would want a florentina , second quicksilver and Marie curie. Verdan- where are you located ? I love polka and it's on my future list. Someday I hope to have a fence fill of climbers. I also have 3 duchess de brabrant. All it does is bloom and stay at under two feet tall ! Haha I am not complaining I just need it to reach its advertised height sometime soon :) the blooms are so lovely and smell like sweet tea ! And lady of shallot is new to me too , it's fantastic! When I saw photos online I was never convinced but in person it's so gorgeous!!...See MoreWeeks/Bedard/Carruth roses for east coast
Comments (16)I've been obsessing over Arctic Blue since I got the catalogue. I thought the comparison to Palatine's Le Petite Prince was curious, checked it out, and Le Petite Prince is Arctic Ice. So maybe there is hope that Arctic Blue will be a z5 survivor :) I am especially hopeful since I see Blue for You in its parentage. Blue for You has been a rock star for me in terms of hardiness, vigor, and black spot resistance. I see a lot of magenta in the photos of Celestial Night. Everything is much pinker for me than advertised. Might be my soil. Ebb tide was pink for me. Lovely, but never purple. So I'm betting that CN's "mystical shade of deep plum purple" will be, alas, sorta dark pink. Life's Little Pleasure's is calling me too! Even though I realize their statement "Those on the West Coast may get the most enjoyment out of Life's Little Pleasures" translates to: "Will blackspot and completely defoliate in New England, even with spray." Still, I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to mauve....See MoreWhich rose house: Jackson & Perkins, Weeks, Austin, Kordes, Meilland..
Comments (19)Goodness, Moses! You really spurred on my curiosity! I went through and counted all my roses and their breeders to find the winner and it's exactly as I thought. I could have saved myself some trouble! ; ) The top spot was close with Kordes followed by Austin and then Weeks if I count the distributor and Pemberton if I'm looking at the breeder. Weeks' breeders were evenly split between Bedard and Carruth. The rest are all onsies twosies withe Meilland at three, Boerner, Lambert, Turbot, LeVavasseur, Shoup, Basye, Bentall and Buck all coming in at two a piece. I do look at Breeders and hope to grow my collection of Jerabek and Bagnasco roses and try some of the Lens Hybrid Musks. I would think being bred in Belgium where I barely recall the sun shining, that they would be healthier. Although, I hardly associate England with year-round sun. I do really like my Kordes roses that I've had for three seasons. They have really changed in terms of blooming with the exception of Fire Opal which was a winner from the get go. With the exception of Munstead Wood and Molineux, my Austins were cheap impulse buys from Lowe's. I'm happy with them, but do feel they would prefer a slightly more acidic soil, much like the Pembertons. The Weeks roses mainly came from a Springhill Rainbow of Roses sale and they are none too healthy in terms of Black spot. We'll see if they improve next year. They do bloom alot, however. I've been meaning to do this, so thanks for the push! ; )...See MoreALERT: Barden's Own Root MARIANNE in stock at Northland's Rosarium!
Comments (44)@ann beck 8a ruralish WA I don't think I'll pursue Etsy, or another retail seller. Yesterday's offering was a test to see how a simple post on GW and Instagram prompted sale of a handful of plants. I sold the 10 plants I had, and could have sold ten more if I'd had them. That's good enough for me. I no longer have the facility to propagate hundreds of roses anymore, so all I'm likely to have is 20 or 30 plants a year, and apparently a few mentions on public media is all it takes to sell them....See More- 7 years agoJasminerose, California, USDA 9b/Sunset 18 thanked Holly Webster(7bNC)
