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.

Found it. No yellow roses, unfortunately, but I got two different
white roses, one of which is a yellow-white and the other of which
is a lavender-white. Also a red and a coral.

In general, I thought their prices were very high and their plants
not very healthy. But their seed prices on a few select vegetables
(broccoli, spinach, mustard, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.) were quite
good--50 cents for a huge scoop.

Go way south on mopac, almost to the wildflower center. Turn left on
Slaughter. Turn right on Brodie a mile or so later. Go a few miles until
Brodie ends. Take a right on 1626, go about a mile and watch for the signs.

Or go South on 35 and exit west on 1626. I don't go this way, so I'm not
sure how that exit is marked.

From central Austin I go through town all the way south on Manchaca Rd.
until you dead end at the town of Manchaca. Take a right go a couple
miles maybe (?) and you will see a hill on your right w/ MARBRIDGE
spelled out in stones--can't miss it. Go to the stop light just ahead
take a right and a right onto the grounds.
I haven't been there since the spring but have always had good luck w/
the plants I have gotten there. From what I remember they have a much
bigger, more robust selection of stuff in the spring but they're one of
my top three places I buy from.
