Look up books that have pictures of these roses. If you look you will see they dont always agree on hardiness. But its good to read what they have said in order to have greater insight into what you choose. Most of these people experienced these roses in areas of the world other than yours.

ROSE PHOTO BOOKS

The prescence of a book on this list does not indicate that I agree with the methods or information provided by the author. Its just that they have a picture of the rose in question on the page indicated. These books were chosen either because they were already in my library, a picture was included that I'd had some difficulty finding, or because I try to pick as diverse books as possible not knowing what will be easily available to you where you are. Each book has a little blurb by me at the end that you might take as a short review.

McKeon, published by Rodale Press, Emmaus, PA 18098 ISBN 0-87596-656-X, Got this from The Voorheesville Public Library in Voorheesville, NY 12186. At the time this book was published the author was chief horticulturist at the Morris Arboretum and in charge of the Arboretum Rose garden.

We have roses that are locally hardy, disease resistant, vigorous and fragrant (though we have a few that aren't particularly fragrant). I dont care how long they bloom, if they are single or double, if they are tall or short what is important to me is that we are successfully growing them in Voorheesville, NY; all summer without fungicide and outside in winter without protection. I test a few more that I have read about in the books of Steven Scaniello, Tony Lord, Charles Quest-Ritson and Peter Beales. I look for them grafted on Rosa multiflora, purchase them and grow them in pots for a couple years. If they measure up I take cuttings and begin to sell them at the plant sale both grafted and after a couple years own root.

After July 4 Customers can still purchase plants if they make an appointment via Email . You can also call me on my cell phone at 518-526-9101.
