400+ varieties of own-root varieties in Tom Liggett's nursery
greenhouse. These were grown from cuttings:
we were graciously allowed to take from Vintage Gardens, and
those sent to us by several participants in the rec.gardens.roses newsgroup.
120+ varieties of budded roses donated by Edmund's Roses, Arena
Roses, and Regan's Roses.
120+ of our imported varieties newly released from quarantine at Vintage Gardens.
50+ varieties grown by Tom Liggett and Mel Hulse.
Planting preparation
Current.
While Ed Wilkinson completes the database update for locating the new plantings,
volunteers are removing duplicates from the garden to make room for the new varieties.
Many great roses are available to folks who spend a day on this effort.
Future.
Volunteers will put computer location tags on roses at the nursery.
Roses will be picked up from Vintage Nursery as space becomes available in Tom Liggett's
nursery.
Planting days will be announced in the San Jose Mercury News. This will be accomplished
over several different weekends.
