~ OUR NEWEST INTRODUCTIONS ~ 

We are proud to add the following excellent roses to our list this year. To fulfill the increasing demand for healthy, fragrant, vigorous, long-blooming and fragrant roses (especially climbing roses), we have sought far and wide to find reliable tried-and-true varieties to test in our garden and to propagate to add to our list. We will be dropping roses that we find difficult to grow and those that require frequent spraying to do well. We will, however, continue to offer the healthy and fragrant antique ramblers and old garden roses, even though they bloom only in summer, because of their heritage value, exquisite fragrance and beauty, and for the “big show” they provide during the traditional June/July rose season.
