Here's Some

Here are the two roses we bought... I doubt that the photos will do them justice.

Hot Cocoa

And the second one...I couldn't find a link on the Weeks page, so here's another link. Austrian Copper

You may want to hurry down to the Plant Barn. With weather like this, I think a lot of bare root roses will be going in the ground.

Roses and More

Jeekers! So many roses...the Weeks roses shipment has arrived and you need to look at them. Soon. And I have to get some pictures posted here so that you can be truly motivated to come and look for yourself. Denise has done a great job of selecting varieties...

(I couldn't help myself. I should know better. But we saw at least two roses that we had to have. They are sitting in a bucket of water right now and will be planted this afternoon, if we can find the proper spot for them.)

And other bare root offerings are in as well. Weeping Cherry; fantastic! Bada Bing Cherry; another beauty! And of course some dwarf peaches to go along with the cherries. I bought both of those last year and they are doing great. Do I need more?

I know we said we would be open on the 5th and if you came by, you might have been disappointed to see the lights off and the gate closed. A 'little' storm happened along and changed the schedule. Luckily, damage was minimal and we're open again and just in time, because...
