Crop 250 June week #2 Issue of Flowering Shrub Farm Monthly All Picture Newsletters; January February March April May 1 to 15 May 16 to 31 June 1 to 7 June 8 to 14 June 15 to 21 June 22 to 30 July August September October November December The whole idea of my web site is for you to be able to examine what we have for sale before having to drive to the plant sale location at 40 Voorheesville Ave in Voorheesville, NY 12186. This issue is the second week of the Rose Sale. Click on the picture and it may open a larger version with more detail. Last edited 06/10/2011
Front of house on left and less expensive roses (in smaller pots) for sale in back yard on right. Click the picture on the right and examine it closely. When there are lots of roses flowering it may be time to come to the plant sale (I will overwrite this picture frequently, look for a pink label with the date on it in the picture).
When you click on a picture it opens a larger image and you will be able to see the variety name and the size pot the plant is in, in the adress line of your browser. Anything in a 7 gal pot is $30, 15 gal is $50 and 25 gal is $100. 45 gal is not normally sold but used to demonstrate how large plants can get.
2. We have Old Garden Roses including; Alba, Gallica, Damask and Centifolia Roses, Hybrid Rugosa Roses, Rambler Roses, Hybrid Musk Roses and Modern Roses that share the old rose qualities of disease resistance and fragrance. Because we carry everything will be taken through next winter outdoors most everything is locally hardy too.

4. Fruit trees being trained to espalier are first cut off eighteen inches above the graft.
5. I take pictures of available plants in our nursery saving the pictures using the variety name and the pot size together with what week of the sale it is.
Subscribers will receive a list of plants blooming at the plant sale included in the email that has the link to this picture-newsletter. The pictures here include some of those plants and knowing the pot size you can determine the price. 45 gallon isn't usually sold. 25 gallon is $100, 15 gallon is $50, 7 gallon is $30.

10. Every year I experiment on new varieties that wont be for sale yet. These varieties include 'Tausendschon', 'Seven Sisters', 'Trier' and 'Goldfinch'. I want to determine if they are truly locally hardy and disease resistant so one is placed in a seven gallon to place pot-in-pot while the other is placed in a twenty five gallon. If they successfully overwinter I will start to propagate them.

12. Smart people buy plants in bloom and we at the flowering shrub farm are open only when plants that we grow are flowering.

Those plants that have not bloomed by the end of June will be cut back in July and the cuttings rooted to provide additional own root inventory in a couple years.
During the plant sale I take pictures of many of the plants I am selling and overwrite older pictures on this page. If you see something you like just come buy it in bloom.
