J&P on Fortuniana root stock
If in doubt, assume it's Dr. Huey. That's the main one the mass
distributors use. If you're buying from a small independent grower, just ask. They might even be able to use/order multiple root stocks or do own-root upon request. Dr. Huey does acceptably well in most parts of the country, which makes it the primary choice for Weeks, J&P, etc. Fortuniana does exceptionally well in very hot climates, which is why the Florida growers use it. If you prefer Multiflora, check out Ashdown Roses. If you need Fortuniana, thus far Muncy's is the only place I know that does mail order. (Nelson's is planning on adding internet orders soon.) For own root, check out Sequoia, Roses Unlimited, Ashdown, etc (too many other small growers to name them all.) And if Dr. Huey is right for your location, congratulations! They're everywhere, and they're cheaper than Fortuniana. Try Wayside Gardens, S&W Greenhouse, or even your local Wal-Mart.

But how can I know what soil condition a particular rose or rootstock is intended for. And how does one know what rootstock is being used... unlike fruit trees,I've never seen it listed. Dick |
