Many people email me or leave a message on the answering machine at 518-765-2917 to let me know when they are coming or to ask about a particular variety. I can call back to answer any questions. Others just drop in during the plant sale and I've posted my cell phone number on the barn door to call if you can't wait. I'm partially disabled so you may have to load your own plants.
In the list above each rose we have in stock is given an inventory number. Each number consists of an identification number for that unique individual (10-105), shows the pot size (G7 is 7 gallon, G3 is 3 gallon) and the price ($30). Large Own root roses are highlighted in green and if grafted on Rosa multiflora they're highlighted in black. When I sell a numbered plant I highlight the number in red with the date sold within a day or two (plants that die or are stolen are highlighted in red, marked as "gone" and the date noted). A threesome is a 3 gallon pot with 3 rooted cuttings planted together and the inventory # highlighted in purple (after two years I devide them into their own pots and cut back to be sold within another year or two). As a rose starts to bloom in the nursery I take a picture of the flower, post it in my web site and place a dated link in The Local Garden Picture-Newsletter . My growing page is a description of how we grow the plants and when we do it with thumbnail links to larger pictures. Notes such as; (gallica, z4, red, <1500, n/r, 3x), are my personal advice though it may disagree with the published experts (we all go by personal experience and theirs is different from mine).The Flowering Shrub Farm is a Retail micro-nursery. Everything (except the smallest rooted cuttings) are grown locally in two locations. The Plant sale location is less than an acre where we have the plant sale and propagation facilities. Everything else including around three thousand lilacs, several thousand Roses and two hundred Native Azaleas or Rhododendrons are being grown outdoors on less than 5 acres (plants to be sold in the plant sale are moved to 40 Voorheesville Ave in May).
10-345A which obviously means inventory number ten thousand, three hundred fourty five that has previously flowered verifying the variety (A) in a 7 gallon pot ( the number preceded by G is gallon preceded by a Q would be a quart) for 30 dollars. I try to alternate numbers and letters or symbols to make it easier to read. Only the first 5 digits will be found on the plant. The PRICE will apear in the catalog next to the inventory number as shown above. Roses with inventory numbers 10-500 and above are usually around $20, 10-499 and below are around $30.

Look up books that have pictures of these roses. If you look you will see they dont always agree on hardiness. But its good to read what they have said in order to have greater insight into what you choose. Most of these people experienced these roses in areas of the world other than yours.
ROSE PHOTO BOOKS
The prescence of a book on this list does not indicate that I agree with the methods or information provided by the author. Its just that they have a picture of the rose in question on the page indicated. These books were chosen either because they were already in my library, a picture was included that I'd had some difficulty finding, or because I try to pick as diverse books as possible not knowing what will be easily available to you where you are. Each book has a little blurb by me at the end that you might take as a short review.

As I pot plants for sale I attach a yellow inventory number label and note the number in my catalog. As I sell plants I highlight the inventory number in the catalog in red. As I inventory plants for sale of each variety I place a thumbnail picture next to each variety name. We dont sell plants until they flower so if the picture of the plant for sale shows a label and not a flower its not for sale yet. Look for a picture of the flower with a recent date (within the last 90 days).
