Hi Melissa Ah, true confession time! Normally I'd be sheepish about reporting these things but I lost a lot of roses over the Polar Vortex winter and I "only" ordered nine from HCG (so far, I still might be tempted): AC Navy Lady - I'd had my eye on this dark beauty for a while but didn't want to order from Hortico, so this was a great chance Fourth of July, Cl. - This one hasn't established well for me grafted so I want to try it own root, since stripes are a must. Ferdinand Pichard - same as above - hoping third time's the charm Zephirine Drouhin - also on my wish list for a while, and I still have fence space for climbers, particularly thornless ones Morden Blush - for my "East Side Survivors" bed Lilian Austin - because you can never have too many Austins in my climate Smoke Rings - russet color to die for Ruby Voodoo and Hula Hoop - colors sounded intriguing and I love to try new things to me. Besides for the latter, you can never have enough tributes to the late great Ralph Moore either. So your turn, Melissa - what did you buy?

I live near Denver and have purchased nearly all of my roses from them. I saw an ad in the Rocky Mountain News 3 or 4 years ago for an Old Garden Rose sale sponsored by a Boy Scout Troup in Denver. I went there with my mom and a buddy and bought a Variegata Di Bologna (sorry if my spelling is off) and a Louise Odier. I was hooked! I didn't know much about old roses. I've been back to that sale every year since, collecting treasures. I was organizing my plant tags this summer and realized all my OGR's came from the same place - HCR's. So I visited their website and found the sale. I ordered my last 3, 2 Ausmary's and a Mountain Mignonette on 9/13, they shipped on the 14th and were at my door on the 16th, in great shape! I planted them the 19th, we had a light frost last week, so I put pots over them one night. We have our first hard freeze warning for tonight so I went to put the pots over them again. One of the Ausmary's has grown so much in the last week that the pot I used last week is too short! I didn't realize it had grown that much. I know there are a lot of great rose vendors on the east coast. I highly recommend HCR for those of you in the western states. Too bad my planting season is done!

They have sale pricing on the link below. Perhaps what you found was an older link? Kim Here is a link that might be useful: Highcountry Roses sale

Your comment must have been fate, mmmm12, as it led me to reread the entire post and find Ingrid's comment about Quicksilver buried within it. I've been going on about this rose, but haven't bought it as I like to only get from a couple of vendors to save on shipping. I had hoped to get it from Lowe's, but they are not getting in the "good" roses at the moment as their shelves are flooded due to Covid. As luck would have it, I had already ordered a goodly number of roses from Matt so emailed to see if it was too late to add it. Please keep your fingers crossed. I may still get another grafted one from Lowe's later in the season, but would feel much better to at least have one going in this year for certain. Please keep your fingers crossed that the other roses haven't shipped!
