Welcome to Northland Rosarium, Spokane, Washington, United States. All of our plants are container grown on their own roots rather than using the roots of another variety. The 6-inch tall containers hold about 1 quart of root mass, which we have found to work very well in getting the plant off to a fine start.
We see our own-rooted roses catch and sometimes surpass the grafted bush the second or third year. Grafted roses must have their bud-union protected in the winter, while we do nothing to protect the own root roses. We are convinced by our experience in our Zone 5 climate that most roses live longer and are hardier on their own roots. There is also much less chance of virus. We are careful to use virus free cutting stock. The other plus, of course, is the problem of suckers and possible transplant rejection, which doesn't exist with roses on their own roots.
You are welcome to tour our gardens during open hours. We open April 9th thru the end of July, Wed thru Sat. 9:00 to 5:00. We are also open for Garden tours and personal tours of the garden. Shop our Northland Rosarium Sales Cottage, Spokane, Washington for top of the line Garden Tools and accessories. We carry custom natural fertilizer, compost and other amendments for your garden soil.
