Kristine i looked on their website and don't see anything referring to 2020 roses or anything new in their listings? Was this only through facebook??

Yes it was on Facebook I'll try to find the link and post it even with the link it was kind of hard to get to it

Boy they didn't make it easy and how
ever found it I do not know but go to where it says order roses and then go down to where it says shipping and down at the very bottom it will say shop now and that's where the new roses are not sure why they made that so weird.

The only way that I'm even knew that it was the new selection was that they had double delight and veterans honor which are not listed on that 2019 list

Carol is adding new roses to their 2020 collection daily. She normally has about 19 pages in the online catalog, but there are only 6 pages at present. She is adding more all the time. She says they will have some they've never offered before. And, just when I think I'm about finished adding new roses!

Thanks for posting the website flowers

She always has such great roses

Kristine: I grew 2 own-root Double-Delight from tiny-rootings (less than 3") to 3 feet plants in pots (took 5 months). They bloomed constantly, the repeat was faster than DD-grafted-on-Dr.Huey. I also grow Veteran's Honor (bought as gallon-size own-root), and it's VERY WIMPY. It's still alive after 2 zone 5a winters, but lose ALL LEAVES completely during recent heavy rain. Double-Delight as own-root was very healthy compared to Double-Delight as grafted. But DD as own-root can't survive my zone 5a winter.

Firefighter is 10 times more vigorous than Veteran's Honor as own-root. Firefighter has a much better scent (one bloom can perfume the entire room). I barely smell "cherry scent" on Veteran's Honor. VH gives me about 6 blooms per year, compared to Firefighter at 15 blooms (1st year own-root), and at least 40+ blooms for 2nd year.

I saw Hot Cocoa at rose park, theirs is grafted on Dr.Huey, and it had MANY TIMES more blooms than their Double Delight. Their Hot Cocoa bed was loaded with blooms during hot & dry. If I have to do it all over, I WOULD NOT GET VETERAN'S HONOR AS OWN-ROOT.

Thank you Straw, I will give Veterans honor a chance and if it turns out to be a dud there is always another rose to take its place. Lol

Helen, I am so glad that you had good success ordering from Northland

I have an order coming this week too

You will love Blue For You. It is a really cool rose .

I finally got mine planted next to Desdamona.

Kristine, that’s wonderful! I normally don’t go for single or semi double blooms, but Blue for You’s colors and Ben’s pic won me over. Helen

Thats so exciting! I also ordered blue for you from northland this year as well as Marie curie, sven and another Poseidon. I cant wait.

I ordered from them last year and was very pleased.

Hope you enjoy your newbies.

Kristine I also want desdemona but waited to long to order from DA

I wonder if anyone else carries it?

Im looking for aan own root and have no luck so far. Hopefully one of the local nurseries that carry Da's will have it this spring.

I did email roses unlimited, fingers crossed

Dirt Digger - re Desdemona, just a note that the bare root that DA sells & the retail nurseries usually have is grafted. In order to get own root, you have to order the 2 quart pot from DA, but they are unfortunately sold out for spring. (They’ll probably have it available again for the fall 2 qt pot shipment, but since you‘re in zone 6, that might not work for you.)

I bought a couple of the 2 quart own root Desdemonas last year, and they were healthy & look good & have put out new canes, but they definitely grow more slowly than grafted - I‘m in zone 9, and the plants are still relatively small.

Thanks cyndita , that what happened. I had desdemona in my cart at david austin but when i actually made up my mind they had sold out 🙁.

Now im kicking myself lol, but i still have Olivia and Roald Daul coming anyway.

Digger, you will love Olivia so much that you might forget all about Desdamona , for the time being lol

I have read great things about Olivia, there are so many of the austins i want to try. If only i had acres of land lol.

I wish that I had room for an Olivia hedge, she's that pretty
