Seed catalogs ?
Hi. I would appreciate recommendations on a couple of companies to request
seed catalogs from. I've usually just gotten whatever they have the big box stores, but would like to try something different this year. Thanx. |

Another site I have just discovered is www.valueseeds.com They seem to have some incredible prices but not such a good selection. Great for stuff you want to experiment with though. everything seems to be below 99c |

As a person who gets great satisfaction from growing roses, my advice, is that no matter where you buy the rose bushes, choose the most disease resistant plants. I've bought both from Witherspoon and from Home Depot. My shrub roses survived really well and that's what I tend to buy these days. My hybrid teas needed more care and attention than I could give thus I have been less successful growing those (black spot, june beetles, aphids, etc). The cheapest Home Depot roses are $5, on sale every February. I take inventory of my rose bushes that survived from the previous year and I go back to Home Depot to buy more of that variety. As for Witherspoon, wait until their sale (late in the season) to get some rose bushes for 50% off. They have the most fragrant roses you could want. I wish you luck with your roses!
