Rose Bud Spotlight: High Country Roses

Starting this year membership in the Utah Rose Society comes with great perks. One of them is discounts at local, independent nurseries. We affectionately refer to these nurseries as our “Rose Buds”.

High Country Roses has been an institution in the rose selling business for over forty years. The company is a family-owned and  features unique, own-root roses that are perfect for the Intermountain West.

Below are some of the Utah Rose Society’s favorites available for sale this year.
 
All My Loving is a new introduction from British hybridizer, Gareth Fryer. It’s a self-cleaning rose, a new type that requires minimal deadheading and pruning. It also makes a great cut rose. 

Denver’s Dream has to be seen to believed. This miniature never looks the same, flush with orange and pinks. It does excellent in pots or the ground.

Rosa Woodsii is the most prolific wild rose in the state of Utah. While it only blooms once a year, bright red hips coat the canes in fall. It is also one of the few roses whose leaves change color in fall, almost as vibrant as a burning bush.
