A Rose is a rose is a rose...
Well, you get the idea. We recently were blessed by Rebecca Lee of Hummingbird Hill in Coupland who is one of the most enthusiastic growers of hardy, drought tolerant heirloom roses I have ever met. We acquired a large selection of great roses from Rebecca, as well as a plethora of cuttings of unique and hard to find roses that we are currently propagating at the nursery. In addition to Rebecca's roses, we will be receiving a large shipment of oustanding roses from Star Roses, a cutting edge company that introduced the "Knockout" family of roses. So if you like roses that can be grown and enjoyed with minimum fuss, then you need to come to Bloomers this Spring.
