Without small online specialty rose nurseries I would have very few roses, rather make that no roses at all, because I would not have been able to acquire the ones that do so well in my garden. These nurseries are basically small businesses run by folks who grow and love Old Garden Roses that they propagate themselves. Often they also carry modern roses that are out of patent that have proven themselves strong enough on their own roots to do well without being grafted/budded. (Some modern hybrid roses have lovely blooms but were not strong plants, so they found that grafting them on another rootstock made them stronger plants.) In the last several years we have lost some fine rose nurseries due to the economy and illness, so I'd like to do all I can to strengthen the ones we have left. Hence, the need for this list.
