Custom Propagation
We offer custom propagation of hard-to-find roses for patient rosarians. All of our roses are propagated on their own roots. In most cases this takes 12-18 months but sometimes it can take longer. We can propagate any rose that is not under current patent or trademark. Many people make a visit to our garden to choose what they would like to have propagated from our vast collection of hard-to-find roses. We note roses unique to our nursery in the Combined Rose List. And gardeners often want us to propagate an unknown but loved family heirloom rose. Custom propagation is $40 per plant, payable when the order is placed. Some especially difficult-to-propagate or extremely high-demand roses cost more, as noted. All cultivars priced at more than $40 are strictly one-per-customer per year. We can only propagate a finite number of roses each year, and early ordering is always recommended.
Note: Cultivars marked with an asterisk (*) are fully subscribed for this propagation year. Orders for cultivars with an asterisk (*) are not being accepted at this time.
