My Roses

I have about 65 roses! My favorite classes are Hybrid Perpetuals, Tea-Noisettes, Hybrid Musks, Old Teas and David Austin Roses.

SIDENOTE: Almost all of my roses have been bought mail-order, which I highly recommend. You can get a much better selection by shopping online and these dealers are reputable and experienced in shipping roses. They come carefully packed to arrive happy to you.
