Dear Rose Friends,
Cold weather is here, and it‘s time for the remaining roses in inventory to bed down for the winter. Before I do this, from now through Sunday, December 11, all roses in stock are $10. First come, first served. No delayed shipping on this offer.

There is still a lovely selection of hardy roses in stock, many of which are some of my favorite roses in the garden … Tuscany Superb, The Bishop, Silver Moon, Peggy Martin, Leontine Gervais, Alberic Barbier, Caldwell Pink, Apothecary’s Rose, and many more.

At the conclusion of this sale, I plan to tuck the roses into the greenhouse for the winter and close the online store till spring.

Next year will be a bit different, as I catch my breath and regroup from a couple of whirlwind years. I’m putting less emphasis on propagation, and turning more of my efforts toward getting my gardens in order and preparing new programs and classes that I am anxious to introduce. Folks want information about roses … which roses to choose, how to plant and maintain them, what to do when problems occur, etc. … and I am gearing up answer the call. There will definitely be a new crop of roses for 2012, I’m just not stressing over it.
Silver Moon
Apothecary's Rose
Let me close by taking a minute to thank each of you for your support of Hartwood Roses. Even in this climate of economic uncertainty, 2011 was a good year for us, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you look forward to what we offer in 2012, and can make room in your garden for a few more Hartwood Roses.
Sincerely,
Connie Hilker
(and I offer a very sincere thank you each of you, who read this blog and support me through your comments and emails. I appreciate this more than you know.)
