Hortico is no longer in the rose business. They are native plant wholesale only.

not sure where you are getting this information. Have you called Hortico direct to determine this conclusion?
This morning we shipped over 300 roses yesterday of 1000 and have been shipping roses all Spring. We have a nice crop in the field and a gorgeous potted crop that we will sell all summer long until the fall crop is harvested from our field.
Please call us if you need help to navigate our new website.

I've gone to the site several times and see nothing like the old Hortico offerings. There seems to be an
'error' blocking you in my browser. The only site that came up was natives...But, I've adjusted the browser, so, we're in. So glad you're NOT out of the rose business!!

Use their wholesale catalog, and then call their office, they're saying.

Have you received anything from them lately? Btw, two roses I still have from them, bought in days of yore that I like are Lucky and Anne Graber, and I see them both on this catalog now. Both get really tall and make enormous sprays. Welcome back!

No, Kathy, it has been 2 years since I last ordered more than 3. The problem being that there is nothing for me to order.

Good Morning Michael,
Calling our office can be tedious as well. The roses that we currently list are available and in the barn. We will begin shipping February or March 2024 depending on the weather.
To see the list of roses that are available go to our wholesale website, scroll down and click on the rose link.
Then cut n paste the varieties that you would like to order and send the list in an email to us.

Thanks.
I am hoping in the future Hortico will re-introduce some of its European stock it had for a long while. Especially Fryer and Harkness roses. Hortico and Pickering were the only sources of these amazing roses, which have mostly disappeared from North America. Examples such as: Keep Smiling, Royal Parks, Claret, and so on.

Good Morning Michael,
We would love to grow more European rose varieties including Fryer and Harkness; however it is difficult for us to obtain budwood with increased import regulations.
If anyone has these varieties growing in North America we could obtain budwood and could produce some of these varieties again.
We do grow a good selection of David Austin varieties but this is because they have a budwood supply in North America.

Good Morning Brooke,
Sorry not to reply earlier ... just seeing this now as we were prompted from an outside source - this thread.
Yes we have completely revamped our website and although there are remnants of the old website lingering on throughout the internet the best way is to clear or reset your browser and use our new wholesale website, scroll down and click on the roses.
From there cut n paste the varieties that you would like to our office email and we will communicate together from that point.

I would love to order. But the shipping costs to the U.S. are putting us all off. Anything you can do about that?

Good Morning Kathy,
Shipping charges have increased exponentially over the years. We continue to offer an attractive pricing schedule on our plants.
Many persons have organized their orders as a group which really helps offset shipping charges.
Others make the trip to pick up a bulk order. We can help organize this; however, there is an added cross border paperwork charge.
Just wanted to mention that we grew this yea's crop on a new farm and the bareroot roses are huge this year!

New website address and only wholesale now

No, I emailed them last week.
Nicole, the Office Manager, said that the catalog is now wholesale. If one wants a retail mail order, they need to email their email what they want.
So, almost all wholesale, but not quite. She mentioned something about web changes. Unsure if this is just an intermediary solution or not.

The HMF "plants for sale" list is quite long, but the plants listed on the Hortico website are a minute portion of the HMF list. Does anyone have information about this?
|
REPLY

Hortico changes its catalog broadly every year. Hortico itself should update HMF, imo.
|

I asked Hortico about this, and they say that the rose list now on their website is their entire catalog, now 125 varieties. I suppose that the 3000+ rose collection was sold off or discarded. They would be a source for quite a few of some harder-to-find cultivars if they still sold them.
