About our Collection - and How to Place your Order

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.....

"The whole point of collecting is not only one's enjoyment - but the learning of what happened
in this world creatively over the years: ...how one thing led to another........"

Artist, Collector & Philanthropist - Wright Saltus Ludington (1900-1992)

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 offer this assemblage to discerning gardeners .....


"... If you believe me, Live! .......Don't wait for tomorrow.
Gather this very day..the Roses of Life..."

Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585)

PLEASE - read all about HOW WE DO BUSINESS before ordering

Our 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"
(primarily from cuttings, and occasionally by layers.)

"The miraculous way in which the torch of life passes from one plant to another through the medium of small cuttings.....Theophrastus, 3rd Century BCE

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.......... Here are six white roses of different type and growth habit as photographed in their two gallon containers at Greenmantle Nursery.
