Roses from Antique Rose Emporium
Comments (21)I rarely have that problem with roses unless they come from afar. One of the best vendors I have done business with is Amity Heritage, and invariably, not only do their roses have buds, but some leaves will be falling off which only means that they lacked oxygen in transit and will be replacing the old with the new. Some of the best roses in my garden came from Amity and yes, they are small, but they are great to deal with. As far as Ashdown, ARE, Chamblee, RU, I never have that problem, probably because they take a limited amount of time to get here, but I still think Amity's roses are some of the best I have ever bought and will continue buying from them that which I cannot get from closer nurseries, knowing that the yellowing leaves that are falling off are going to be gone soon and new ones will appear. However, my recipe for them is to keep them in a baking pan in my kitchen window with about an inch of water and I take them out at noon each day for a day in the sun. Once it starts warming up, I keep them out longer each day, by taking them out a couple hours in the morning, around noon and late afternoon. After a couple weeks, they are acclimated and ready to go in the ground and some of the best roses I have....See MoreHoliday Ideas from the S.A. Antique Rose Emporium
Comments (7)Hi Marlingardener and everybody! I thought about the advertisement part when I posted this, but both the Antique Rose Emporiums; the one in Brenham, and the one here in San Antonio, are such neat place to visit it's kind of nice to be reminded once in a while. In fact, my friend Lesli, who I met on the Rose Forum years ago, came in town today and we went! I just posted some photos on the Gallery. After ARE, we ate lunch in Bracken at a restaurant introduced to me by my friend Patty, Castro Gardener. Being only 25 minutes from Schumachers Country Gardens in New Braunfels, of course Lesli and I had to go there too. Schumachers still has their sale on. The summer sale was supposed to be on until it rained so they must have had about as much rain there as I did at my house. The four inch pots were still $1.00 and one gallon are $3.00. Other sizes are on sale too. Hard to beat those prices so we loaded up. Here is a link that might be useful: A few pics of ARE on the Texas Gallery...See MoreFree Shipping - Antique Rose Emporium
Comments (30)Alameda - Gypsy Sue bloom size is about 3-4 inches. The flower is very full, like the English roses. Although it is advertised as apricot, I would consider it to be a white rose since the slightest bit of sun easily fades the color. It is also a very narrow rose, but very tall at 6ft. In Texas, I would guess that it would climb. Another characteristic about Gypsy Sue is that the flower is easily damaged, by rain, by wind, by sun, by insects, it's very delicate. Nevertheless I still like it, the spring flush last year was terrific. I took some very unflattering photos and hesitate to show it. These were taken after digging it up and moving it to a different location while it was in bloom. I don't grow Brazos Belle but it looks very nice on their website.

It's a long video, I think Gypsy Sue was past the halfway mark . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FIbk2wgobE starmade thanks for filling in more information, there is so little written about the ARE roses. I went out on a limb to buy Sweet Francis not knowing what to expect.. Star of the Republic has been a question in my mind too. Mr Shoup considers it the best of the Pioneer series. I'm getting excited about these roses, it feels like we have found hidden treasure......See MoreLisa Adams
