Rare Roses for Collectors and Enthusiasts

Collectors above all are not satisfied with ordinary off-the-shelf roses of the kind available in every nursery, any reasonably stocked online retailer, and possibly even DIY stores or Amazon. 

Many of the rare roses we carry, which can hardly be bought any more, get somewhat lost in the normal lists. That is why we have put together this variety list of rare rarities.
