Rosa gallica var. officinalis (apothecary rose)

The roses arrived safe and sound with clear instructions on how to tend them. We are very pleased.
Thank you for your care and attention.

Received my Rosa gallica recently and tucked it away in the ground for winter. Seedling arrived very carefully packed and healthy, looking forward to enjoying the blooms and medicinal aspects for many years to come.

Apothecary roses arrived just before Hurricane Helene hit. So haven’t been able to plant in the ground. Have them acclimating to the Georgia sun. They arrived in great condition. Every one was alive, healthy, and thirsty. Let them soak in a water bath for a few days and they are doing well. May pot on into bigger pots to get through winter if I cannot get them planted soon. First frost is expected in less than a month, but Georgia soil doesn’t really freeze. Been trying to get these for years. Now let’s see if I can wait a year or two for the blooms.

This rose is somewhat rare and relatively hard to find, so I was excited to find it at Charsaw Farms. This was a small plant (which was what I was expecting), but an important addition to my old rose garden. I am pleased with the health of the plant and how well it was packaged for shipping.

would’ve given 5 stars but it is just a small little twig, hope will survive
