NEW ROSES FROM VINTAGE GARDENS

On October 31st we added 29 new roses to our catalogue. You can read about them in the newsletter we just sent out. Download it now from the website! These gems include a collection of roses raised by Pamela Temple of Willits, California, that honor her friends and the joys of happenstance that come from a garden of old roses! Just in!

BIG CHANGES AFOOT AT OUR NURSERY AND GARDEN

In our latest newsletter you’ll also read of the difficult times we have been facing, and what we are doing to keep Vintage Gardens alive, and our remarkable collection of old and rare roses in tact for the years to come.
Contrary to speculations in the Ethernet, we will NOT close Vintage Gardens, but will begin to offer fewer varieties and to diminish our hours and days of operation. All is designed to maintain America’s largest collection of roses, and to ensure that you can still obtain the rare and delightful roses that we tend.

MORE ROSES RELEASED FROM OUR FALL 2009 CROP!

Welcome to our Fall 2009 season at Vintage Gardens. Our most recent upload of new inventory was made on October 15th. We will continue to add batches of roses available for this season as our plants become ready to ship. A portion of our crop will not be released until early spring 2010. We’ll announce each of these uploads as they occur with an email that we will send out to all who receive our Rose Notes and Newsletters. If you haven’t subscribed and want to keep up with our new inventory as it is released, just ‘Join our Mailing List’ below, on the bottom right of this page.

SPRING 2010 SHIPPING OF ROSES NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
The most coveted of roses we grow are the old Hybrid Teas, particularly the flame colored Pernetiana roses. Many of these are now available to order on this site. Slower to grow in band pots, we will not ship many of these until Spring of 2010. We have marked those varieties that can be ordered in band pots, but will be held for shipping in the coming spring. Please take note of these as you order; their spring shipping status will not show on your shopping cart. You may find all of these roses by searching for ‘Spring Ship 2010’ on our Roses search page. Just tick the box that says ‘Spring Ship 2010’ and hit the ‘Search’ button.

SPLIT SHIPMENTS OR HOLD UNTIL ALL ARE READY?
If your order contains items that will ship in the spring, we will automatically schedule your entire order to ship together when those items are ready. If you prefer that we ship all those that are ready now, and those that will ship in the spring later, please notify with a message in the ‘Instructions or Comments?’ box on the credit card information page, the last page of the ordering system. Split shipments will be treated as separate orders for shipping charges, include agricultural inspection fees. You may continue to add to those later-shipped orders to make the most of your shipping fees.

ABOUT OUR OFFERINGS
We continue to offer the largest selection of roses—old, new and classic—available anywhere in America. This we do, despite our size, with just three of us to propagate, grow, tend, and ship our plants. We’re a small, family operation with a big love for old roses!
