Roses
Our rose selection is carefully chosen based on these two criteria:
1. Fragrance
2. Disease Resistance
Each season we pot bare root roses with a mix of rose & flower food, alfalfa meal, Epsom Salts and organic potting soil.
We carry the three main types of hybrid roses:
Hybrid Tea
Gorgeous, large blooms.
Great cutting flowers.
Floribunda
These roses have large clusters of smaller flowers.
Grandiflora
Beautiful, large blooms.
Great for cutting.
We also carry climbing and shrub roses.
Shrub roses

How to prune your roses
In the fall, prune the plant back to 3 to 5 of the strongest canes. These will be nice and green or thick and vigorous and have obvious eyes that will be the new shoots. Each eye will become a whole branch.
Prune into an open vase structure because roses like a lot of air circulation.
Why: If you have too many crossing branches or plant them too close to other plants, they tend to get two very common diseases: black spot and powdery mildew.
