I like Palatine very much. So I’d go with them. Their roses are big and healthy, great for my gardens.

Katyajini, you are in the cold zone so multiflora root stock from Palatine is better than Dr. Huey from Regan.

Like Summer said, Palatine sends bigger roses than Regan's. Regan ordered their roses from multiple growers so in general you get decent grade 1 roses and sometimes a bit smaller. Helen

I've ordered from both [just completed my Regan's order]. Palatines sends really big plants; not saying Regan's doesnt. I look at cost, shipping and price of the rose.

I live in east Texas and have used both rootstocks but cant tell the difference. Is there one or the other rootstock that would do better in my climate [can be hot in summer, and dry] Thanks!

I do think overall multiflora does better for me, but it might partly be that there are times that I’ve planted a rose in a less than ideal location, that was on Dr. Huey, then try it on multiflora, and it performs much better, like Pope John Paul II. One Rose I’ve tried both on Multiflora and Dr. Huey that hasn’t performed good on either Rootstock is Folklore, used to do fabulous for me years ago. It does seem like the majority of my Palatine roses get a much better start. Like all my Kordes this year, Bliss, Solero, my new Beverly and Savannah are all doing great, along with Oklahoma, and of course PJPII. With prices being reasonable and such healthy roses to begin with, I do believe I prefer Palatine. But I would order from any company that ships good bare root roses, and Regan sure has some good ones, not sure if I will order from them or not, but I always give in, too many gorgeous roses!

I use both because they both have different roses. If Palatine had everything that I wanted I would stick with them .Their rootstock is huge . I think that the multi flora makes huge plants in my Zone.

Regans has tree roses and Palatine doesnt. Regans is closer to me but the shipping seemed to be the same.

If you can get everything from one source you will save a ton on shipping.

This is my first time ordering from either. I went with them because i was looking for certain roses

Thanks everyone. I think I am going to go with Palatine.

rifis why did you send me that video? because you read my mind at that moment that I did not know what to do when I received the bare root roses? Or to show me how big the rose plants are that they send? Thank you either way! Palatine roses are huge! But having to plant the next day?

alameda: I love to buy plants here and there too if I ever find time. My kids love the garden but they will not garden at all. When I was young I had no interest in gardening even though my mother's passion for gardening was immeasurable. And her garden was extraordinary. I essentially learned nothing from her. But her passion impressed me somewhere. I am sorry I did not get to garden with her now that I love it so much. So there is hope. Many people turn to gardening when they get older.

I am trying to plan ahead...the bare root roses I will get from Regan will typically need three years to be young-mature? So if I plant them in 2020 spring 2023 they will be more or less there mature size? And the bare root roses from Palatine will need less time? Sorry if this seems too naive.

Katyajini, from my experience, if you are talking in term of 3 years, roses from both places will reach their full potential, so you won’t notice the difference. However, because you live in a cold zone, if you buy grafted roses, the roses grafted on multiflora root stock will deal with the cold weather better. On the other hand, if the roses you love only sold at a certain nursery then you just need to give those roses extra winter protection if their root stocks aren’t the best for your area. Helen

Helen, I already ordered my roses from R and P. I am thinking of an experiment and wondering about the maturity of the roses, only for information so I can design my experiment. Thank you always!
