Default $3 roses at Marbridge

All roses are on sale for $3. Mostly Weeks, maybe 1/4 Jackson-Perkins.
Some 'tree' roses. Two to three hundred roses available.

Shade and fruit trees are half off too.

Nice place if you've never been. The birds in the large cages in the
tropical greenhouse are my kids' favorite part.

"Marbridge Farms Greenhouse is part of Marbridge Ranch, a residential
facility for mentally handicapped men. The residents earn and learn working
in the greenhouses tending the plants, and the profits go to help continue
the Marbridge mission" quoth the Chronicle on the subject. Marbridge is off
of 1826 in Manchaca.
