by Andrew Van Cleve (email link at bottom), I last edited my inventory of numbered 5 gallon potted roses on Saturday, August 26, 2006. Go to www.floweringshrubfarm.com/avirtual.htm
All of the Scottish Roses in the list below are roses that we grow at the Flowering Shrub Farm in Albany County, NY. More modern cultivars of Rosa spinosissima and Rosa pimpinellifolia can be found on our Scotch Rose page.
The zone it's hardy in, height and width and if its recurrent or not is included as a caption in each picture so you can save it as wallpaper or a picture file. Later email me and ask me to send you pictures of each plant for sale. When you have chosen the rose you want, come buy it during our plant sale or make an appointment for a special date and time.
