There's no business like rose business.... The roses of Greenmantle Garden have been acquired from a score of sources in a half dozen countries. A very high percentage of our rose foundation stock was originally imported from European nurseries; Canadian sources also provided a number of varieties in the beginning. Rare treasures have been obtained from internationally recognized botanical gardens in Great Britain, France, Germany, South Africa, and California. From Florida has come crucial propagating material - certified free of rose mosaic virus. And over the years, correspondence with individual specialists has secured many extraordinary plants for the Greenmantle Collection - A little fine-tuning continues..... Our express aim has been to assemble a comprehensive collection of the Genus Rosa - guided by the ideals of authenticity and freedom from disease. Provenance of any variety is available upon request; we are always willing to respond to inquiries about any particular plant..... However, concern with origin cannot by itself insure correct identity or the healthiness of a plant: extensive study, observation and care are their essential support. Standards of health and nomenclatural accuracy can only be maintained through constant personal attention in garden and nursery. The classic roses are historically important, genetically intricate, and incomparably beautiful. They are worthy of your attention - and we are pleased to make this assemblage available to discerning gardeners........ Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585) Please read about HOW WE DO BUSINESS before orderingOur rose nursery stock is propagated EXCLUSIVELY BY US from our collection of mother plants - all of which are monitored for freedom from signs of rose mosaic virus. All of our rose plants are produced "ON THEIR OWN ROOTS" They are grown OUTDOORS in TWO GALLON containers for a full season, under organic culture without the use of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides. This generally results in large, well-rooted, and hardened-off plants ready for your garden. The size of young own root roses will vary according to the inherent genetic background of the individual variety...... "The miraculous way in which the torch of life passes from one plant to another through the medium of small cuttings....." Theophrastus, 3rd Century BC OUR GUARANTEEGreenmantle Nursery guarantees its stock to be correctly identified and correctly labeled. The plants we ship are healthy and viable, and are carefully packaged by us personally to arrive in this condition..... Please open your package immediately upon receipt and inspect your plants. If you detect any problem, inform us at once so that we may assist you in sorting it out. However, beyond that point - We cannot accept responsibility for the impact of factors outside our control (e.g. cultural practices, growing conditions, weather, and unruly animals - wild or domestic) . We care very much about every plant that we propagate, nurture and sell - and wish them to thrive in their new homes. If you have any questions at all relating to plants purchased from Greenmantle, please feel free to call and consult with us. Your satisfaction is important to us......
