Spring Hill roses

5 months ago

I see that Spring Hill Nursery has roses on fortuniana root stock. Does anyone have experience with these roses?

I ordered a Chicago Peace on Fortuniana a few years back and it arrived practically dead. I return very, very few roses, (I require only they be alive and correct variety) but I asked for my money back on that one. My guess is they tried to storage it bare root, and Fortuniana does NOT keep in bare root cold storage the way the good Dr. does. Hopefully they are using better practices now.

Their Dr Huey grafted roses come mostly from Weeks , and those are fine.

I'll try one next spring and see what happens. I'l probably order a few on the good DR to justify the cost of shipping.
