The few around here--Moody's, O'Donal's, Skillins, don't have much of a selection of them, and most varieties I have already. Once in a great while I get lucky and find one at a Home Depot, but their rose selection this year is pathetic, worse than usual.

I'm building a new rose bed and would love to not have to wait for next spring and mail order.

I have purchased Austins at Gingerbread Farms in Wayne, Maine, but the slection was limited. I also know that Old Sheep Meadow Farms in Alfred carries them. You might check and see what they have left. Last time I was there, I really didn't like the attitude, but if you're desperate. . . :)

Here is a link that might be useful: Old Sheep Meadow Farms

Thanks mainerose, I'll look up the phone# for Gingerbread Farms. I don't even know where Wayne is!

I will no longer shop at Old Sheep Meadow Farms due to two awfully bad experiences with that lady. It's a shame because they do have a good selection. But even though I am desperate I swore I won't go back there. Heard lots of other complaints too.

Hi! I agree, Veilchen---too bad that they don't have better people skills. I think they're even worse that the folks at the Roseraie at Bayfields used to be! I get all my roses from High Country Roses in Utah---shipping is expensive, but they have a good selection of antiques and they are very nice to deal with. Not sure about Austins---I've tried them, but am really just one zone too cold. Does Suzie Verrier in Phippsburg carry any Austins?
Westernmaine---Wayne is west of Augusta between Winthrop and Livermore Falls. Phone number for Ginerbread Farms is 685-4050. Happy buying!!

Thanks mainerose! I'll call them today. I don't think Suzy Verrier has very many (if any) Austins, mostly rugosas and gallicas.

Too bad it's too late for mail order.
