Click the top picture for a large picture of the flower. Additional pictures may include fruit. fall foliage, etc. Plants aren't for sale until they flower. During the first inventory I take a picture of the labels only and save it using the inventory number as a file name. Once they flower I take a dated digital picture of the flower and and overwrite the label picture. If its not for sale it will show only a picture of the label. My hand measures 3.5 inches across the 4 fingers to compare flower size. In July and August, as I am cutting plants back, I root cuttings, that will be grown for sale in three or four years.
Inventory of plants that should be available for sale; No plants for sale at this time.
Availability? Rose Guide & Inventory. We grow plants to sell at our plant sale. Read my notes on the zone hardiness numbers I use. Do we do mail order? Check my picture-newsletter Want to purchase? email me.

Thats one of the reasons many rugosa hybrids are not used in hybridization, this one has the reputation of being one of the first rugosa hybrids,
