Chamblee's vs. Antique Rose Emporium
Comments (29)I've only ordered from Chamblee's out of the two, and have nothing but good things to say about them--for multiple purchases (which is how I usually order), they're a good value, and their plants catch up pretty quickly to the roses I buy at nurseries/big box. ARE might be a good way to go if you only wanted to buy one or two, though--they have a neat website and lots of good stuff. I must say, your Icebergs look wonderful--not sure how you kept them that way in NJ, I'm in less-humid Nebraska, and mine were either blackspotty or naked of leaves, and I'm not consistent enough with spraying to overcome a bad tendency for disease. They were some of my first roses to meet Mr. Shovel, which I hated to do, because they are blooming fools....See MoreAntique Roses Emporium Sale
Comments (115)Lisa, I don't doubt that quite a bit of the fog is related you your illness, but I'll bet some of it is just normal. I find that if I try to hard to remember something, the neurons go on strike and refuse to fire, but if I can just relax and focus on something else for a bit, the neurons will sometimes put down their picket signs and go back to work somehow... I think a milk case/crate would be a good idea if you really want to get your babies planted. I'm assuming it isn't so hot yet that there will be heat stress + planting stress coming quickly after travel stress? I can't recall if you have hot summers, or fairly mild ones there... all the zone tells me is that your winters are not really winters... :>) Virginia...See MoreWhite Pet from Antique Rose Emporium is all leaved out in 4 weeks
Comments (43)I almost planted my White Pet last night after watering, but by then it was nearly dark and I'm such a slow poke. Maybe I will start by mixing the amendments in a bucket and placing some gypsum in the bottom of the hole first. Then the actual planting will go faster. Also I seem to only have size "Ginormous" gopher cages left, and only a medium size hole. There's always some obstacle/ excuse. I thought maybe my new purchase of these solar powered, beeping, vibrating stakes was effective at keeping them away. I installed them in February and yesterday I saw a fresh gopher mound. Some say the stakes work, other say they're a total waste of money. I couldn't dig up and cage everything that was already planted, and the stakes are nontoxic so I was willing to try. I still believe they have helped some. I've had far less gopher activity than most years, but this time of year is the real test. It's hot and dry out and they smell the water in my yard. If you water, they will come..... Millie went to see her Dr. yesterday and all is well. She is adapting to having only one rear leg, and she's strengthening it. For now all is well. She had another round of shots, so she is not quite as spunky today. A cuddle mood, is what she's in today. Ingrid, I hope your Tea rose pulls through. Is it Rhodologue Jules Gravereaux? I sure hope she holds on. Is Mme. Franziska Kruger the one potted on the bench? need a break. To be continued I'm back. I heard some commotion and after doing a kitty count, realized Dexter was involved in something. He had cornered a squirrel. This is the first squirrel I have ever seen in my garden. I put all my little hunters inside, and Mr. Squirrel left, cussing up a storm as he went. I hope he was scared enough not to come back to my yard. My tomatoes are just ripening! Back to the roses. I don't know which one you planted and which one is waiting Ingrid, but I hope it's ok. The black canes don't sound so good. Does spraying with water help the canes in this situation? I planted a Lady Ash(aka Dixieland Linda) about 6? weeks ago, in full sun. I finagled an atrocity of a sun block for her, but she's still unhappy. Maybe she's embarrassed:) Lady Ash is supposed to be a strong girl, related or sport to "Aloha", which I know you have, Ingrid. She has no black canes, but no growth, and tiny pale leaves. She just looks bad.I keep telling her, " Hold on Lady! It's not always like this here. Your gonna love it 9 months of the year". I'm not sure if I'm saying this for her benefit or mine. Gdinieontario, wow 18 years! Looks great. WP must handle some cold winters quite well. Does yours bloom in flushes, or always some blooming during the season? I'm so eager to get mine planted out. You may wish us a short mild summer, and we will wish you a short mild winter in return. Lisa PS. I see that your Blue hosta has also lasted at least 10 years. Nice!...See MoreAntique Rose Emporium Cyber Mondy Nov 27th sale
Comments (104)Hi Bella, I LOVE my AC, but I'm not sure it is going to be hardy for you in Zone 5. Mine was young during that first polar vortex winter a few years ago. It died to the ground, but did come back from the roots the next spring and didn't have any issue making it through the next winter (which was also very cold for us down here, but nothing like a Zone 5 winter). I liked it so much that I got another for a pot, but that one didn't make it through the first winter outside in the large pot. Are you planning to put yours in the ground or grow it in a pot that you can bring into a garage or such to overwinter? Here AC is almost a constant bloomer through the season and has a nice fragrance. It does blackspot some in our high humidity, but doesn't defoliate. So far, it has remained small, but did have to start over after dying to the ground that winter (I think that was 2014?)...so could eventually put on more size. Here are a few pictures from this year....I adore the color changes with this rose:...See More

Instead of just clicking on a rose to go to the detail page, if you on a computer, right click on it and select "Open Link in New Tab". This will keep the list page the same and you can see the rose detail page in the new tab.
If you are on a phone, instead of tapping on a rose image, hold your finger on the image for a few seconds, a new popup will appear that has an option like "Open in New Tab". Tap on it will open a detail page in a new tab. Helen
