Each year I take cuttings from guarenteed virus free roses or lilacs based on the feedback I receive from subscribers to my picture-newsletter. The cuttings are rooted in a greenhouse and and returned the following spring. We pot the rooted cuttings in a 3 gallon pot and grow them until they bloom. Those that have previously bloomed are transplanted and added to the tally for sale on the green dot (as I sell them each day I subtract them from the tally). We wont sell any rose or lilac that has not previously flowered proving to me the variety. If you want to subscribe or purchase email me.

The different pages ( alba roses, gallica roses etc.) directly below here have two pictures of each plant in each list. One is a closeup of the flower, the other shows how many and what size are in stock. I change my web pages frequently so you should reload each one in case your computer has it cached. These smaller catalogs have thumbnail pictures beside the descriptions: Alba Roses, Gallica Roses, Damask Roses, Centifolia Roses, Hybrid Rugosa Roses, Climbing Roses & Rambler Roses, roses with small flowers, Old Garden Roses mentioned in literature, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z More information on how I choose roses to grow and sell; at the bottom.
We have roses that are locally hardy, disease resistant, vigorous and fragrant (though we have a few that aren't particularly fragrant). I dont care how long they bloom, if they are single or double, if they are tall or short what is important to me is that we are successfully growing them in Voorheesville, NY; all summer without fungicide and outside in winter without protection. I test a few more that I have read about in the books of Steven Scaniello, Tony Lord, Charles Quest-Ritson and Peter Beales. I look for them grafted on Rosa multiflora, purchase them and grow them in pots for a couple years. If they measure up I take cuttings and begin to sell them at the plant sale both grafted and after a couple years own root.

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.

CULTURAL INFORMATION
I purchase Roses GRAFTED on virus free Rosa multiflora every year and pot them in a seven gallon pot at the depth they would be planted if we were planting them in the ground (picture above) using a soiless potting mix (sometimes the mix will have a slow release fertilizer included but that will be depleted within 90 days). Root hardiness of plants is generally fourty degrees less hardy than stem hardiness so in winter we insert the 7 gallon pots into other 7 gallon pots already surrounded by mulch (pot-in-pot). I fertilize each plant in spring before they leaf out with composted manure & Espoma Rose Tone. We fertilize again after flowering and mulch with compost. In July I take semi-mature cuttings to root in 3 gallon pots and grow them for a year before dividing and repotting in a 7 gallon. When they flower I label them and make them available at the plant sale. OWN ROOT plants will say they are own root on the side of the pot. We only remove faded flowers and dead plant parts after the plants leaf out. All pruning and disbudding is stopped at the end of July so that plants can prepare to go dormant for winter
CULTURAL INFORMATION
We dont sell plants until they bloom. We grow them without fungicide and store them out doors pot-in-pot each winter. Plants are fertilized and pest controlled in an organic fashion. The subscribers to my newsletter choose several plants they want when they subscribe. If I can find those plants grafted on Rosa multiflora being sold wholesale I buy them and add them to this list. Each year in July I take cuttings. When plants start to bloom I make them available at the plant sale. Some plants dont make it to the Plant sale but we have had plants that were thought to be zone 8 do marvelously well and prove themselves much hardier than thought. The survivors that are sold at the PLANT SALE are TOUGH CUSTOMERS. In fall when I place roses pot-in-pot for the winter I also take an inventory picture. Of course you still wont know if it has survived the winter but I take similar inventory pictures in the spring while removing plants from pot-in-pot and fertilizing with Espoma Rose Tone. After they leaf out I prune by removing dead branches (thats it for pruning unless I am training to HORIZONTAL T ESPALIER or FAN).
