Crop #119 Trier (pictures of) Multiflora Hybrid Rose introduced by Lambert in 1904 has loose clusters of 30 to 50 flowers (twice that in late summer) on a disease resistant plant that might be stretched to nine feet or so on a trellis. Reportedly hardy to at least -26C we will test two of them by planting one in a 45 gallon pot, the other in a seven gallon surrounded by mulch and carry them through winter with no other protection.

Each year I order virus free roses grafted on Rosa multiflora from which we will take cuttings to root in July (later we will sell both the own root and those grafted on Rosa multiflora in 7 gallon pots). We paint on the side of each pot; an abreviation of the variety name, the year it was first planted, a 3 digit crop number and whether its own root or not (and we turn all the pots so that its easy to read the side of the pot in pictures). I start a new web page for that crop number alone and insert into that page unrelated pictures from around the flowering shrub farm (usually of the house, greenhouse or barn). As plants grow I overwrite each picture with pictures of the variety flowering, decorative foliage, fall color, its fruit, propagation and a sign showing current inventory information with a date (we wont sell a rose until it has flowered proving the variety). When one of the pictures above shows a metal sign with this crop number on it (and a pink label showing the date I took the picture), look for the quantity we have for sale on the sign in its upper right hand corner (if the quantity number isn't there its not currently for sale, check again soon). A green dot indicates its in a 7 gallon pot, yellow is 15 gallon and red is 25 gallon.
