Roses in Thyme Dear Loyal Customers and Friends, We’ve made the difficult decision to no longer sell plants as a major business focus. We’ve had modest expectations for our rose business. While it’s exceeded them, it’s never provided enough extra revenue to hire help with the greenhouse, grounds and gardens. The last years have found us actively involved almost daily in the lives of grandsons 3 and 9 months. We can only stretch our time and energy so far.The grandkids have thrived, but the roses and gardens have suffered. Times are tough for old roses. Our main supplier is drastically cutting back the number of varieties they offer, in turn, limiting us. Vintage Gardens is winding down its operation. Many other small nurseries have cut back the varieties they offer, trying to focus on the best sellers, often newer varieties. I feel we need to become an ark of sorts, to grow and protect the roses whose numbers are few and commercial sources scarce. I’d like the time to work at careful record keeping and labeling, to grow the scarcest roses in more than one spot to ensure their survival. We’ll continue rose hunting, searching out those lost treasures & seeing they live on. And we’ll keep our nursery license and occasionally have roses for sale at the farm. We just won’t be growing large numbers of grafted plants or selling at outside sales.
