Re: Own root rose source

I have dealt with both Heirloom and Vintage over the years. I prefer to buy
from Vintage, but have a limited availability list, so I occasionally but
from Heirloom. I heartily recommend Vintage.

Subject: Own root rose source


I notice a lot of enthusiasm for Heirloom Roses as a source for old
roses and own root roses.  I have used them for several years with some
spectacular successs and some poor results.  I have received roses that
were not true to the variety and some that didn't survive the season.
But I have had some that were magnificent in a year or two.  This year I
tried Vintage Gardens which I found on the Internet and the stock
arrived yesterday.  It was two to three times larger and looks good.  I
also tried Hardy Roses for the North which has own  root roses.  They
were so so.  There's a site that lists mail order catalogues and
comments from users are posted.  Heirloom is on that, too.
