Why We Prefer Own-Root Roses
Own-root roses are usually more hardy than budded roses which can be
killed at the bud union during a severe winter. Own-root roses may die to the
ground but will come back as the same rose instead of an understock. Their longevity
is legendary. Many varieties have lived for a more than a century.
Initially own-root roses are smaller than the budded roses you normally
see. Own-root roses usually bloom the second year and become fully
established in their third or fourth year. Most of our varieties are
remontant. They bloom more than once a year.
Our varieties have been chosen for hardiness, disease resistance,
toughness and fragrance. This is not to say that they will not get blackspot or
mildew but that these diseases usually do not cause complete defoliation. We do
not sell difficult roses! We strive to grow the types you can plant and
almost forget about.
Own-root roses may cost a little more than budded roses because fewer
can be propagated in a given year.
Try a few of these living antiques. We are sure you will be entranced by
their lushness and fragrance.
