Rogue Valley Roses new website

November 30, 2019

last modified: November 30, 2019

I have been checking on RVR often to see when they will have their new website live, and they have it live today. Yay!

I like their Advanced Search feature where we can select to see only "In Stock" item in addition to other criteria. Their website currently shows they have 2 Pretty Jessica in stock. Helen

Yes! I've been looking around on it for a bit. I like that it shows how many of each item are in stock. And I also noticed they have some new unusual things, for instance, Blanc de Vibert, a hard-to-find damask perpetual.

In response to Mymabee, I live in a gated community for seniors therefore there are no children around here. Half of our residents are snowbirds. As far as sharp glass and a little poop. Get your facts straight, first of all residents are required by the rules to walk their pets with a leash, something many are violating. Secondly, it is not a little poop. We have many ferrel cats located here because residents don't follow the rules and feed the cats. It is my yard and I didn't enjoy picking up three to four piles of pop daily. Cats are smart enough animals that they realize that their paws COULD get cut if they encroached on my property, so they avoid it and no animals have been harmed. Now if I had a tumbler machine, I would tumble the glass. Cats still don't like larger stone, Arizona stone, but they like gravel. I'm on a strict budget and didn't have funds to replace all the gravel with another stone. I have placed a sign that indicates (and yes animals don't read) but residents can read and ensure not to let their animals use my yard to poop. Perhaps if they took the approach the beaches in Southern California and areas in New York where they issue a citation, it would be a different story. Basically I have the right to enjoy my yard, not everyone else and their animals or stray animals. I'm recycling glass that would otherwise fill the landfills, I'm saving huge costs in my design, and I have yet to get a complaint from the residents where I live. Most applaud my design and work. Now acrylic pieces, very expensive and I believe I said I was on a strict budget. Now, one last comment, the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Palm Desert use glass in their landscape I have found out. But I checked, no one uses all of the non tempered glass (including the particles that look like white sand) or auto safety glass. So if those cities are using glass in the islands of the roadway, that is more open and accessible than my place.

I would LOVE to get rid of the ivy but my husband loves it. We had a specialist look at our trees last year and had 4 huge oaks removed. There are 2 trees up front we plan to have removed this year along the driveway. I want them removed before hurricane season starts!!! I don't think hurricanes and trees go well together!

I love the niche because it has old world charm. I would either use a tall piece of ceramic, a sculpture, or a large vase with flowers or have glass made to display a collection of either glass or pottery, whatever you love. I think the niche competes with the "cabinet" for a focal point. There is a lot going on in a small space. I would put a small seating such as a narrow bench where the cabinet is and do raw silk pillows on it to pick up the colors of the piece(s) you choose for the niche, or a large painting. You could leave that wall blank and let the art in the niche be a big statement piece.

All transformers are not dimmable. The dimmer on the transformer works a little different than the wall switch dimmer. Matching the wall switch dimmer to the transformer is important and sometimes tricky. The transformers mostly specify which Dimmers to use nowadays, but there can still be problems. Putting a dimmer on a transformer with a dimmer can really mess with the sine wave of the current and cause all kinds of havoc. Putting dimmers on LEDs is a relatively new thing, and the engineers don't even have it figured out all that well. It can make the transformer hum and it will give the lights a strobe effect. Most of the time, it seems that changing to a different or better dimmer will fix it, but I am not sure about the transformer with a dimmer on it already. It probably isn't recommended.

That's good I hope they get everything straightened out. I think they are good, well meaning people and they do grow more unusual things.

I hope they will have more items actually in stock at some point. It is rather frustrating (or was -- I don't really have room for many more roses).

OMG! They now list new Paul Barden roses that they never showed in their Barden Roses section before! Check out Diablo Hawk and Striped Jocelyn!!! YUMMY!

Just searched among the old posts and pulled this discussion out. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/1573361/are-there-any-good-russet-or-tan-roses#n=37 . Apparently, Paul Barden isolated Striped Jocelyn as a sport on his Jocelyn and passed it on to RVR years ago. And now it's finally made it into RVR's inventory! The color is absolutely to die-for!

Thank you Bayarea Girl for calling our attention to this wonderful upgrade. Linc, you are so right about the new Paul Barden roses on there. I looked up Diablo Hawk and I love the color. They need a few more photos to complete their set.

The Tea rose photos they do have look great.

This all looks very positive. Scott seemed like a wonderful addition when I visited this Fall, and Janet was very engaged too.

Hi Sheila, I absolutely love the color of Diablo Hawk on HMF! I think that color may resemble Dakota Redwing, which I believe you have an outstanding specimen of. Although I really don't have any open space in my flower beds, I ordered a Diablo Hawk anyway for early April delivery; I'll figure something out.... THANK YOU Helen for bringing the new RVR website to our attention!

They carry many roses in which I'm interested in and I see they do international shipping, though I'm a bit hesitant due to the large number of negative reviews on Dave's Garden. Sheila recently posted a glowing review, possibly their quality has come up as recent? I can order some of the same roses from overseas and those being grafted plants, though at a hefty price a bit hard to swallow, thus I'd prefer to order from Rogue.

I ordered from them last year and again today. I would say to keep in mind the plants they ship are bands, so not huge, but they were all healthy with nice root systems. You may want to call and see about the shipping situation, they have been great to deal with - they got some additional help, Scott was wonderful when I had some questions last year on my order. The new website is awesome, so much easier to navigate - and being able to choose in stock only is a time saver!

The minute I saw Diablo Hawk, I ordered it. What a color! And not a Gallica or other cold weather rose unsuited to the California coast.

I'm completely in love with that color too Colleen! The bloom form and color bring to my mind of Tuscany Superb, but reblooming!! I'm ready to baby this one in a container so he can quickly settle in. I wonder how he will stand up to our high BS pressure? There is absolutely no information to be found anywhere, here on the Forum nor HMF. I'm hoping Paul may chime in? Come to think of it, I will start another post on this particular rose to catch Paul's attention.
