The Clematis have arrived!

We have just received a shipment of clematis. They have been hand picked by Landscape Designer and employee, Phyllis Hathaway as special varieties not often found elsewhere.

Literally "growing out of their pots!"

Another photograph taken in the greenhouses this weekend. As you can see, the plants are growing ferociously and with great health. At this rate, they will need to be planted soon! Reserve your favorite roses now.

The roses are ready in the greenhouse

Two pictures from the greenhouse this week: Eternal Flame (glowing yellow) and Abbaye de Cluny (soft apricot). The roses are healthy and blooming and bursting out of their pots! They really need a home in someone's garden. We have over 350 different varieties. Come and see us and give one of these fabulous roses a home.

April Pruning Seminar

Spokane Rose Society held a pruning seminar here on Saturday. There were 40 plus people in the garden and we had a very informative day. Heather Figg, Loren Moll and Lynn Schafer did the actual pruning and they had their work cut out for them. Heather and Loren tackled a big rugosa called Conrad F. Meyer and a large climber called Collete. Lynn gave a demonstration on a Hybrid Tea's with some good information on tools and gloves. Lynn is available as a Master Rosarium to answer your questions about pruning. Check out the Spokane Rose Society at www.geocities.com/spokanerosesociety for Lynn Schafer's phone and other Master Rosarium's. Heather and Loren can be reached at 509-448-1436 to help you with your pruning questions. Many thanks to these hardworking Rosariums.
