Pickering is ready to take orders for next season. If you want your roses delivered in fall, you have to order them before September 30th. Otherwise, you have until May 1st to place your order.

For all of you that like Ralph Moore's Persian line, Pickering is the place to buy it. They carry all of them but Persian Peach, I believe. With any luck, this link should take you to the page of the Cubits database with all five of the Persian roses on it.

Pickering also carries Ralph Moore's Hula Hoop, which I'll post here just so that this thread will catch people's attention.

Oops! Pickering apparently is not selling Hula Hoop this year. Sorry.

LOL, quick, slip in another tempting photo of something they do carry!

How about something different like a Hybrid Musk, this is Rostock. (photo taken at a rose garden)

Apricot Vigorosa, a floribunda (in Zuzu's garden)

I love the pink/yellow/apricot blends, however the drought is forcing me to be sensible and not add any new orders this year. I will continue to enjoy everyone else's.
