Shrubs

Ivory Halo Dogwood

Ornamental Shrubs: We classify our deciduous shrubs into short, medium, and tall heights in our sales area. The most popular landscape shrubs are offered in more than one size for our customers who prefer to buy smaller sizes. Rhododendrons and Azaleas are grouped together and offer a fantastic show of color in the spring. Most of these are from the U of M with good bud hardiness.

Shrub Roses: This year we offer approximately 70 varieties including the popular Park & Morden varieties, the Pavements, some hardier Buck varieties and some Antique and David Austin English Roses. Our roses are potted in 3-gallon pots. We do feature 1-gallon sizes in the spring at Mother's Day. Our new sales area is available again this year to provide a larger display area.

Most of our shrub roses are "own root" which have the following advantages:

	Extremely hardy tops; region true even though plant dies back to crown
	Longer-lived due to elimination of bud incompatibility
	No root suckers from understock that are not true to plant
	Shrub roses have three bloom cycles

Definitions:

Non-recurrent bloom - Blooms once a year

Recurrent bloom - Blooms at time in succession throughout a flowering season

Everblooming - Continuous or closely-separated flowering
