For Every Rose You Buy at $25.00 Get One Free!
From August 15 through Sept. 12, 2010
Local Pick-Up Only

Includes vintage Brownell climbers as well as an assortment of other varieties while selections last. These are fresh, healthy rose bushes growing in three-gallon pots. We postponed our annual rose sale this year because of our new book, Roses for New England which left us no time to plan an annual June Rose Sale. Because we need the space for the 2009 crop, we are selling these roses two-for-one as long as they last. Roses can be purchased from August 15 through Sept. 12 by appointment or walk-ins welcome on Saturday August 28 and Saturday Sept. 4 from 9 am to 12 noon. Email mike@rosesolutions.net for more details.

propagation program.

***************************************************

During the 1950’s, the Brownells introduced a series of “Everblooming Pillars,” a climbing form that, unlike their previous once-blooming large flowered climbers, repeated regularly on the current year’s growth. Of all the Brownell introductions spanning a half century, we believe this collection of pillars to be their finest work. These sturdy roses were truly “Sub Zero” demonstrating excellent winter hardiness as well as above average disease resistance. These roses are climbers and can be grown as such or, with careful pruning, as bushes. Most varieties were identified by a number until they were introduced and then given a name. For example, Everblooming Pillar No. 3 went on to become White Cap. (Read more about Brownell roses on our More About Roses page)

Rhode Island Red
(1957, Everblooming Pillar No.19)

Our favorite Everblooming Pillar is loaded with clusters of dark red, moderately fragrant cupped blooms against a background of dense, medium green foliage. The growth habit is quite robust with heavy canes shooting out laterally as well as vertically; ideal for training along a fence or stone wall.

White Cap
(1954, Everblooming Pillar No. 3)

This free blooming Brownell beauty displays masses of creamy white, lightly fragrant, very double (50 to 70 petals) blooms all season long. It grows five to seven feet and can be trained as either a bush or climber.

Golden Arctic
(1954, Everblooming Pillar No. 84)

Yellow double (35 to 40 petals) flowers bloom continuously all summer on this vigorously growing pillar. It will grow 5 to 7 feet, perfect for a small climber.

Scarlet Sensation
(1954, Everblooming Pillar No. 73)

Great clusters of dark pink, double (35 petals) blooms are featured on this sturdy climber that repeats several times each season.

Lafter
(1948, floribunda)

Lafter This floribunda has gorgeous pink and yellow buds that open into salmon pink open blooms (23 petals) with cheery yellow centers. Very limited availability.
