Rose nurseries in Canada

8 years ago

Any Rose nurseries left? I've grown roses for a long time and bought roses from Canadian nurseries. As it happens, you lose plants over time. When I look most rose nurseries have closed. Some were in Ontario, a few in British Columbia. I am looking for a rose "Mutabilis Chinensis, and Royal Gold, a climbing rose. Not only have rose nurseries closed, but the ones still open have much smaller selection.

Thank you! I've ordered from them. The problem is, some varieties are hard to find. Many nurseries have stopped carrying some of them. Hortico has reduced the number of roses they carry, and of course many rose nurseries have closed. Many were located in BC!

I agree, I'm on the hunt for a highly scented, old fashioned 'centifolia' cabbage rose. Pallatine has a couple types, but not the one a friend remembers. My favourite local nursery doesn't carry 'centifolia' types. So I will continue hunting online!

I also found this nursery - but they don't ship, and Ottawa is a long drive for a few plants!!! LOL!!! http://www3.sympatico.ca/galetta/

If you are near Hamilton, this nursery has an ok selection of Morden cold hardy roses: http://northlandnursery.com/products.html
