| It was out of business, at least since last summer. I found it but was disappointed it was closed. |

| My husband took me there for Mothers Day several years ago. What an experience - they had a "program" like you'd get at a theatre, with all the names of the roses listed, and then you could wander around the acres of roses, looking for the ones that you wanted. They also had binders inside with photos and watercolor paintings of the different varieties. It was such a memorable and enjoyable day, and I came home with three new rose bushes. One has never bloomed, but comes back more vigorous each spring. One has stayed small, but blooms more beautifully every year. I don't remember what happened to the third - it may have died, or maybe it's mixed in with the others out there somewhere... I'm sorry to hear they're gone - I didn't know. They had relocated at one point - I wonder if they're just taking a break from sales while they develop their inventory. If that's the case, it will be worth the wait. It was breathtaking in the past. |

| I'm glad that someone had a positive experience. When I visited in June of 2000, the plants were pathetic and the owner was at this rudest. Most people on the Antique Rose Forum had little good to say about this nursery. If you are serious about hardy roses, check out Suzy Verrier's North Creek Farm in Phippsburg. |
