It’s that time again!
Every year I struggle with the rose order, this year was no different. Did I order the right ones? Did I order enough? I dread getting the job done, but at the same time get excited over the fact that it means spring is on the way.
There are 17 new (or new for us) varieties on order. Our roses are from Star Roses www.starroses.com , Weeks Roses www.weeksroses.com and the antiques come from Del Real Nursery in Caldwell, Tx. Many of the new varieties are showing great promise with disease resistance bred into them. We will just have to give them the old Houston try to be sure! There are lots of solid performance varieties and, of course, our beloved antiques…so prolific and so tough.
