For those living in inclement weather areas, CCRS members will over-winter your plants at no extra charge if you wish, while awaiting a spring 2020 shipment

The Auction may be accessed online at SavetheRoses.com Online bids for both the live and silent auctions are accepted up to 12 noon on Thurs, Nov. 14th, and will be acknowledged by a confirmation e-mail. On Sunday, November 16, 2014, our Proxy Bidders will attempt to obtain plants for online participants, as if they were spending their own money -- plants will be sold to the highest bidder, but only at around $1 over the next highest bid, so even if you bid high over the internet, you are protected from overpaying if there are no other bidders.

We will mail plants purchased to warm climates within 2 weeks and special arrangements can be made online for those living in areas with a winter for delivery next spring.
