The Case for Own Root Roses

December 18, 2020

Here at High Country Roses, all of our plants are grown on their own roots.  That simply means that we produce our roses by method called Asexual Vegetative Propagation.  In more practical terms, we induce roots to grow on sections the rose’s stem through the application of plant hormones.  Sometimes the process is referred to as cloning because the resulting plant is genetically identical to the parent.  No matter what you call it, we produce between 50,000 and 70,000 cuttings each year.

February 9, 2020

Wow, it’s hard to believe the speed of technology.  It seems like just yesterday that we launched the previous site (okay, it's was 8 years ago) but it's was definitely time for an upgrade.  We were the internet equivalent of the 1960's Volkswagen Bus rolling down the highway, stylish and reliable but maybe not quite up to speed.  Welcome to 2020, both the bus and our website got a little boost.  Our new website will maintain many of the popular features of the previous site including top notch [Read More]

Winter Watering

December 19, 2019

Ugh, there is nothing less appealing to me than dragging the hose out in the middle of winter.  I mean come on, my garden looks like a wasteland and my fingers are aching at the mere thought of connecting the hose.  The reality is, winter can be one of the driest and most stressful seasons even in dormancy.  Winter water is often overlooked but can be key to the overall health of your roses come spring time. So yes, it’s time to keep an eye on the forecast and get that hose out. [Read More]

Know Your Zone

November 19, 2019

Shhh! Do you want to know the single greatest success factor for growing great roses? Pick your roses to match your environment instead of trying to change your environment to fit your roses. I get it, we all do it.  You’ll be shopping at the garden center, big box, or even the grocery store and see a beautiful plant at a great price and you snap it up.  Then it turns out the plant has not hope surviving in your climate and it turns into one expensive annual.  Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be [Read More]
