Anyone into roses?

I need to get about thrity this year.. Normally a potted rose is $25-40 each..

I found a place that sells them bare root for $19.95.. And they are Weeks Roses... So good ones...

However... I called weeks and found out I can buy em wholsale for about $4-$7 each.. But then I need a minimum of 100 roses.. And that's more than even I can handle..


So.. If anyone wants it get a group order together, let me know ASAP...

But you would have to want at least five to ten... And I believe they can be a mix of whatever.. You can go to weeks roses.com or regansnursery.com and check out the roses... And I would have to have 50% down so I can pay them..

Anyone interested?

One recommendation for people is 'Oklahoma'. Very scented, does well locally, and nearly maroon in color. We're going to attempt growing it much further north with lots of winter TLC (straw and foam insulation)

If I were still in the area, I'd be all over this. We just ordered ~10 from Regan Nursery for spring delivery.

Oklahoma: "nearly maroon" - what is the variation?

thanks

I'd call it dark, velvety red to maroon. It's not Valentines day red, darker than that. Not a true "Aggie Maroon" in color but a very attactive dark red.

See examples below of the color variation.

agresearch - i was gonna order from regan's but weeks is where regan gets their roses from..

remember - oklahoma is a hybrid tea... hybrid teas don't do well in general here cause they are huge... and we are so humid,... the combination makes for a lot of fungus... my white hybrid teas are usually brown and some of my teas will have their flowers rot... i just have to spray a LOT of fungicides...

anyone wanting to order, do so now or forever hold your peace...

Email for price list and availability.
