High Country Roses gift certificates 25% off through December
Comments (39)Patty or anyone else. Do you happen to know when they will be back from vacation? I got a gift certificate, but had trouble using it, so he's going to put my order in for me. I asked him to write me a email to let me know when he got it done, mostly so my mind would be eased and I would know that I got my roses. This was around Dec. 27th or so. I have tried calling the last couple of days with no luck, so I figure they haven't made it back yet. I was wanting to add one if it was going to be one they put back in stock and ask a question. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew when they were planning on coming back from vacation. I wish I could afford one as long, lol...See MoreHigh country roses website update
Comments (54)It was held at the Denver Botanical Gardens and I think all the buildings there are pretty spectacular. Surprisingly the parking decks were almost full when we got there. I think it was because today was so gorgeous. I didn't get any roses but there were a number of people leaving with garden carts to help them with their haul. I think High Country Roses must have grabbed various plants that were Colorado appropriate from their flowering stock and brought them. Everything had a bloom. :-) Matt mentioned how Weeks Roses had cancelled their order but sold them a propogating license instead and so all his staff has been madly propagating the Weeks patented plants. They are even going out to member's gardens to get cuttings. I think he said they had 600 "parent" plants in house. In previous conversations he had mentioned that Weeks Roses sells them plugs that they then grow. It sounded like no plugs this year hence all the propagating. Matt has a great presentation style and incorporated alot of humor in his talk. There were alot of helpful 'science fair' style presentations for people like myself to come up to speed easily and quickly on all things pertaining to rose growing. I think they thought there was less attendance than usual due to Coronavirus but I think there were more people there than I thought would be. However, this is the first time I have attended. The other outfit selling roses was Bailey Bare Root Plants. They had bare root roses and peonies for sale. The bare root plants were pretty big, hence the garden carts. Bailey Nurseries I was pretty pumped to get a door prize but I was hoping for one of Matt's High Country Roses Gift Certificates. Some other lucky people got those. In my door prize basket I am most excited to try the rose food. We tried Mile High Rose feed last year and it drove the dogs insane! They kept trying to eat it. This new one is liquid so hopefully won't have that affect....See MoreHigh Country Roses....new roses for 2021?
Comments (2)I have no inside information. However, when I have talked to Matt he has asked what I'm looking for so he can have it in mind when he makes the selections for the following year. So if you have something specific or even a general category you could call and ask him and then he may have it in mind when selecting the new ones....See MoreHigh Country Roses new for 2021
Comments (15)Joey oh, it is extremely vigorous and Roots so easily. Gorgeous healthy leaves here in black spot Central. Not a whiff of disease. I've seen it in full flower and it is really beautiful with a lovely fragrance. If its progeny is half as nice it should be a winner. It makes me wonder about polka. However that color is a bit too orange for where I have my roses. Autumn Sunset has beautiful red orange buds that contrast so well with the opened flower. Linda at the long ago roses recommended highly...See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
