End of Season Clearance on hardy, own-root roses in one and two-gallon pots. Even though the temperature is falling and winter is coming, these roses have been growing outside and it's still safe to plant them in your garden now. They will sleep while it's cold, and grow and bloom for you in the spring.

All roses are $7.50. Quantities are very, very limited. Reply to this ad to see what's still available. Here's what we have as of now:
