i have always received terrific healthy LARGE plants from high country roses and am a repeat customer every year. i'm sick of the tiny spindly plants i've received from some other companies that never grew.

also received a beautiful band of auguste gervais from vintage gardens that was large and healthy.

umm, did you say there were pix, Greybird? what did you order from them? How about you, fogrose?

I'm a High Country fan also. My first order brought big, lovely plants this spring.

I'll tell:

Alba semi plena
Ghislaine de Feligonde
Rosa xanthina
Reine des violettes
Darlow's Enigma
Stanwell Perpetual

Here goes again with the pic:

I ordered :

Persian Yellow
Rosa Spinossissima
Rosa Spinossisma Altaica
Suzanne (spinossissima)
Father Hugo
Alba Suaveolens
I'm on a species/spino track.

Harborrose, I have Stanwell, RdV, Alba S-P, all great stuff.

Alba s-p came with blooms - heavenly fragrance... I've been looking at Suzanne and Altaica - I'd love to know how they develop for you.

I received my first order from them this spring and was very impressed with the size and health of the plants. They're doing well. Nice to do business with!

Harborrose, I will keep you updated on the progression of Suzanne and Altaica. If you like Alba s-p, you might want to look at getting Alba Maxima, I have them planted side by side and I can hardly tell where one ends and the other begins. Love that blue-grey-green foliage.

Persian Yellow's fragrance was strong when I first opened the box---said to be an unpleasant smell, but I like it, reminds me of the scent of eglantines.

I look foward to doing more business with HCR. Try them, you will like them!
