ABOUT OLD GARDEN ROSES

Old Garden Roses are beautiful, fragrant and easy to grow. They can live with neglect but with care they will thrive. Old Garden Roses are tough survivors grown before the use of chemical sprays and fertilizers.

Their flowers vary in form and color according to variety. Some look like a 5 petaled apple blossom while others are round and full. Their fragrance can range from slight to strong.

There is a past with each Old Garden Rose that you grow. It was taken from a cutting of a rose that was taken from a cutting of a rose all the way back to the original plant. Your rose is a part of a plant that crossed the Atlantic Ocean during the 1800’s or crossed America in a covered wagon with a pioneer family taking part of their past to their new home.

Enjoy your Old Garden Roses and be sure to always take a moment to stop and smell the roses!
