Burlington Rose Nursery

Hello everyone! I was looking through some old posts awhile ago, and I came across bayarea_girl's and bethnorcal's gorgeous pictures of 'Stranger.' It was love at first sight! The delicate swirls of lavender and pearl are breathtakingly beautiful; I have never seen another rose like it! I was excited to see that Burlington Rose Nursery carries it as I have read many rave reviews for this nursery. I emailed Ms. Leong to ask if she had 'Stranger' available and she said to check back in the spring. Does anyone know if there is a waiting list that I can be put on, or is it first come first serve? I would like to order 'Autumn Damask' and maybe another rose as well, but how many roses I order depends on how much each one costs. Could anyone tell me how much each band is? Thank you so much!
Have a lovely day,
damask_rose : )

hi @pricklycuttingnoca I think that might have been Purple Lodge that I posted recently, a band I got from Burling in March. Burling does send her current list out via email and I believe she also regularly updates her available list on helpmefind https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=17.18773&tab=2. I have asked her for Old Port, Silver Cloud, Purple Lodge, and then she tells me an approximate availability, and to check back, and then I followup within a few months, and she has had the plant available when she noted she would. This year bands for me were $17.50 and gallons $23.

According to her 2020 list 11.50, 17.50, 23 for mini, band , gallon. I always buy from her, but this year, I got distracted. She sends list by email by request. I saw someone posted a purple rose here, not on her list, which leaves me wonder what else she has.

If my memory serves me correctly, a man by the name of Carl Pallek had a first rate rose nursery in Saskatchewan in Canada, selling mainly Kordes roses. I was a Canadian customer and they were first rate in comparison to other nurseries selling roses.When he got to retirement age, none of his children were interested in carrying on the business. He closed it down and moved to Ontario. When Rene Palatine came to Canada from Switzerland, having owned an organic nursery there, Mr Pallek helped him set up his business in Ontario. The Palatine nursery is still an organic one in Canada. Palatine holds a high standard for their roses and will be carrying many of the older ones. When I downsized from my large rose garden, I sent over 80 pieces of budwood from my first rate older roses that I got from Vintage and other OGR nurseries in the States. So hopefully you will be seeing some of your favourites on the list in the future.

I bought 2 bands from her last year, fairly late in the season. Sadly, one did not make it (not her fault in the least, just late season purchase and did not have time to put on enough growth for the garage season). It was Silk Hat which I highly recommend. The other one is a rose I ADORE, Lauren. For anyone who loves purple, it is a must.

I LOVE Burlington roses too! Burling is great at communication and customer service :) Plus, her prices & shipping are low :) I just placed my spring order last week... 1. Wedding Cake (I've heard mixed reviews, but had to try it!) 2. Greensleeves 3. Purple Buttons 4. Senegal 5. Route 66 6. Arthur Bell 7. Little Butterfly 8. Lavender Crystal Strawberry, Out of the one's you've listed that I have, here's my take: BLUE MIST: I would REALLY reccommend Blue Mist! It's my favorite mini. Always in bloom, vigorous, healthy. CUPCAKE: Which was mentioned by Lyn, also a wonderful mini. Its in a terrible location, and still produces! CHRISTIAN DIOR: Very, very slow repeat for me, but when it does bloom, its beautiful...lots of BS for me though MUTABILIS: This is one of my top 5, but I don't know that it would be hardy in your zone. I worry about it here in 6b, but its make it 3 years. Vigorous, healthy, but I don't remember it having a scent (although, I'm not really into scents on roses. I might smell them if they come out of the box blooming, but thats about it) Also, I didn't check if she carries it, but Candycane is another climbing mini that I adore! Its just a really cheerful little rose! I got mine from Angel Gardens...they're also reasonably priced and shipping cost is good too. ~Tammy

Thank you so much @rosecanadian and @Stephanie, 9b inland SoCal! I'm so happy the placement tests are over. Tomorrow is my first day of classes. I'm nervous, but also a little excited : ). I can't wait until 'Stranger' opens its second bloom! Last night the wind blew a bunch of smoke from the fires up north into the bay area so I can't go outside, but as soon as the smoke clears I will take pictures of the bud. I hope the second bloom is as pretty as the first! Have a lovely afternoon, damask_rose : )

What size is the bloom on Purple Lodge? some bush photos on HMF make me think of Lav Crush but in other pictures it looks full and blousy (my preference) I saw it blooms in big sprays which sometimes mean small individual flowers. Prickly and Kathy thank you both for discussion, you gave me something exciting to look for to add to garden. Hopefully a find will be happy in my zone 8.

Thank you everyone for your help!

kathyc - I loved your picture of "Purple Lodge"! I had been considering "Stephen's Big Purple," but I like "Purple Lodge" better. Thank you so much for the recommendation. The color and shape of the blooms is exceptionally beautiful!

If everything works out, I would like to order "Autumn Damask" and "Kazanlik" from High Country Roses and "Stranger" and "Purple Lodge" from Burlington Rose Nursery. I'm not sure if I will be able to place both orders next spring or maybe do one next spring and one the spring after, I will talk to my parents and see what they think.

Have a wonderful evening everyone!

P.S. - I have one more question: Does anyone know if "Stranger" would do better grafted or own-root, or if it needs any special care because it's a florist's rose? I've never grown one before. Thanks!

@damask_rose_zone9b Stranger does well as own root and is an excellent garden rose. Helen
