2008 Rose List

"Shop early for best selection"

L. A. Reynolds proudly presents its 2008 rose list. We have been supplying roses to the triad area for over 20 years. We offer an excellent selection of top-grade, hand-potted roses to you, our valued customers.

This year we will have over 3,000 rose bushes, all carefully selected for quality, color and variety: Hybrid Teas (HT), Grandifloras (GF), David Austin's English Roses, Floribundas, Shrub Roses, Climbing Roses, Tree-Form Roses, Mini-flora/Miniature Roses.

We will carry the American Rose Society's 2008 All America Rose Selection (AARS) winners: 'DREAM COME TRUE' (a yellow edged red Grandiflora), 'MARDI GRAS' (a yellow-orange blend floribunda). Roses that have won the award in the past will have the year listed in the 'AARS' column. This year I listed the American Rose Society's numerical ratings under the column heading 'ARS'.

L.A. REYNOLDS carries roses from JACKSON & PERKINS, MONROVIA, STAR, and WEEKS. Their 2008 Hybrid Tea introductions are: 'April In Paris', 'Apricot Candy', 'Classic Woman', and 'Falling In Love'. Of course, there are new introductions in all of our categories'. I am especially excited to see all the new climbers available this year! You will want to be one of the first to own these new beauties!

I look forward to my 6th season of assisting you with your rose selections and care questions. Pick up a copy of our rose care guide, & follow the directions for planting, spraying, & pruning to keep your roses happy & healthy. Or Click Here for our online simplified guide. Our experienced staff wishes you successful rose growing in 2008. See you this Spring! Dawn (The Rose Lady)

Frequently Asked Questions

WHEN WILL L.A. REYNOLDS' ROSES BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE?

Saturday, March 8th, weather conditions permitting. Give us a call at (336) 945-3776, if weather conditions seem questionable.

CAN YOU HOLD OR RESERVE A ROSE BUSH FOR ME?

We cannot hold or reserve roses. However, if you would like to make a purchase over the phone, using your credit card, our nursery staff will select the rose bush for you. Please be prepared to pick up your purchase as soon as possible (within a few days).

WHY SHOULD I BUY MY ROSES FROM L.A. REYNOLDS? THE MAILORDER ROSE CATALOGS AND HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES OFFER SOME OF THE SAME VARIETIES...

Roses purchased from these sources are usually 'bare-root'. You get the bush THEY choose for you, or the box hides the rosebush. Extra care must be taken when planting a bare-root rose; you won't even know if the bush is healthy until well into the growing season. Our roses arrive at L.A. Reynolds in January. They are hand-potted, fertilized, and pruned properly. Our roses get a head start on their spring growth right here in our greenhouses, where they are lovingly cared for until YOU choose your rose bush and take it home. Would you like help determining which rose bush may be preferable for your site, and why? The nursery staff is able to guide you in making your selection. Wondering how to prune your roses? We will be happy to show you. We are here after the sale, available to answer your questions as they come up. Click Here for our online simplified guide. The staff at L.A. Reynolds takes particular pride in our customer service!

DOES L.A. REYNOLDS SELL BARE ROOT ROSES?

No. Potting and raising the rose bushes in our greenhouses provides our customers a healthy, pruned and thriving specimen that will be an immediate asset to their garden from the beginning of the growing season.

WHEN CAN I PLANT MY NEW ROSES?

We recommend waiting until after the last frost date for your area. In Winston-Salem, that will be after the first week in April. If you live outside of Winston-Salem, please make the appropriate adjustments. Our roses have enjoyed the protection of our greenhouses and cannot tolerate freezing cold March nights, ice storms, etc. Bring them in to a protected area, such as a garage or covered porch, during such weather. Your roses will harden off (adjust to outside temps) and continue to grow during this time, so don't forget to water!

ARE YOUR ROSE BUSHES GUARANTEED?

Roses are guaranteed to be the variety stated on the hang tag and/or bar-coded price tag. Roses are not included in our tree and shrub guarantee.

YOU HAVE SOLD OUT OF THE ROSE BUSH I HAD MY HEART SET ON... WILL YOU GET MORE IN? CAN YOU ORDER ANOTHER ONE FOR ME?

We order our roses 8 months in advance of delivery. Our order is for both variety and quantity. Once we sell out of a particular variety, no more are available to us until the following year. Each and every year, certain varieties sell out before May. If you must have rose bush XYZ, please do not wait too long to make your purchase don't be disappointed!

I REALLY WANT A ROSE THAT YOU DID NOT CARRY THIS YEAR...

Each spring I keep a "wish list" of requests. If the variety you request is available to us, I will make every effort to include that variety in our rose order for next year. Please, just ask! (Or recommend your favorite!)

I REALLY WANT TO START A ROSE GARDEN, BUT I'VE HEARD THEY ARE TOO HARD TO GROW. IS THIS TRUE? WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET STARTED?

While it is true that Hybrid Tea roses (the type of rose most popular for cutting) require a bit more care than other varieties, your time and effort will be greatly rewarded! An hour or so per week spent on regular maintenance (pruning/cutting/deadheading, spraying and weeding) keeps your roses looking their best and gives you 6 months of blooms. Our nursery staff can help you choose the products best suited to your individual garden's needs, be they chemical, organic, or a combination of the two. In planning your rose garden, keep these few tips in mind: First, decide placement of your rose garden. You will need at least 6 - 8 hours of full sun. Early morning sun is best (a southeast exposure). Second, measure the area. This will help determine the number of roses your area can support. Spacing of individual plants depends on the width of that particular variety. You will need access to the rose bush from all angles. Your greatest challenge will be narrowing down your choices - all the roses are so beautiful! It may help you to think about the primary purpose of your garden... color for your landscape? Blooms to cut and bring inside? Is fragrance important to you? We are always happy to take the time to help you with these difficult decisions, because L.A. REYNOLDS IS WHERE SUCCESSFUL ROSE GARDENERS SHOP!
