J&P on Fortuniana root stock
I just returned from a work trip to central Florida. On the way home,
I stopped by several nurseries and garden centers searching for roses from Nelson's, which uses Fortuniana root stock. One place I visited had J&P roses that were identified as Fortuniana root stock in addition to the ones from Nelson's. I was curious, since I had never seen or heard that J&P used Fortuniana before. The manager explained that the J&P roses distributed in Florida came from a Florida based grower / supplier. I was still a little skeptical, but the roses had J&P tags that specifically advertised the Fortuniana root stock. So, I picked up a Flirtatious and a Fragrant Cloud from J&P in addition to a Perfect Moment and a St. Patrick from Nelson's. And then I arrived back in Atlanta just before midnight last night - just in time to enjoy the sub-freezing temperature while still dressed for the hot afternoon in Florida. Yikes - I thought it was supposed to be spring now ! Where did this come from??? |
