It is always a treat to go to the Antique Rose Farm. My husband and I make many treks there during open season just to unwind and find that perfect rose. We wander down the aisles soaking in the perfume. Of course, we get expert advise from Jackie and Don to implement in our garden along the newest "find" of the day. We have never been disappointed.
Antique rose farm on Springhetti Rd is great!! I have purchased roses from them that I hadn't set out to buy, but the staff would always direct me towards the perfect rose bush...so far I have 18 of there roses bushes in my yard and they are beautiful!! Do not miss the back section with the OLD roses. I have a "Gloire de Dijon" climber that is spectacular, and a "Frulenmorgen" ( spelling? ) that is a sheer delights for color and profusion of blooms!!
They also sell their own rose fertilizer that works great for northwest roses, can't confirm success outside of our zone.

Fabulous selection of roses of every type, including the best selection of rugosas I've ever seen. Gorgeous display gardens all around the property. The owners live on the property and also house an antique home and garden shop in their large barn. They also carry a good selection of rose companion plants.
