My favorite rose nursery

4 years ago

My favorite nursery for roses, Silverado Building Supply, is almost fully stocked now (tree roses seem to be only half full)
What I like best is the organization with signs, and that they are at eye level. Not to mention the selection and the prices ($25, tree roses are small for $39 and 36" for $49)

Perma..Right! We have a few good antique rose nurseries but when it comes to the Hybrid Teas, Austins, or new varieties there isn't dingdangdidillysquat! What's wrong with Florida? I really think people just have it brain washed into their skulls that its OGRs or Knockouts for FL. We can get some nice tropical stuff especially down south.

Only in Cali...we’ll never see anything like that over here.

How awesome to shop with them all lined up like that! What did you get? :-)

Nursery looks great, but instead of Silveraado Building Supply name should be Silverado Rose Palace.

How fun!!! And, for California, $25 is a great price for something not still in a bag! (I'm sure they are just bare roots stuck in the peat pots, but I like that as it means I don't have to plant it right away.) Did you get anything?

Cyndita, you are so right. The same thing will cost $50- $60 at Regan. I only buy multiple bare roots at Regan (excellent price and quality). Even though I know Regan has to spend money on rent and water, I couldn’t justify buying multiple potted roses at Regan unless they are rare roses. Helen

Sounds nice! Where are Regan and Silverado? I haven't bought Rose's in years, but I used to browse at Van Winden in Napa.

Found it!

Jasmin and Perma at least you guys have a few near you ...now i have None. I am always singing "dingdangdidillysquatdingdangdidillysquat". Grrr!! I wish we have more nurseries here.

Carla, I would be going "nuts" in that nursery. It looks plenty of stock and so organized.

Roses in HD and Lowes are horrible selection and always the same stock...knockouts :(

Rose trees is impossible to find here...zero zip :(......mail order !!

How do they get those husky roses to fit into such small pots without chopping off a good bit of their roots?
