Why Choose Select Roses?
Knowledge & Service
We are rose people! We grow them, we love them, we hybridize them, we care for them. And we take the time to help you grow and enjoy your roses too. We appreciate our customers and make sure that you get the same great care our roses do.
Selection
We do our research and testing to bring you the finest quality and selection of roses available in Western Canada. Since roses are our passion, countless hours are spent selecting the best roses for this climate. We have long and well-established working relationships with top rose growers in Canada and USA, and this brings our customers the best of the best. Our collection is vast with no "filler" varieties. Each variety is on our farm for a good reason: because it will please gardeners! The best time to see the full line-up of amazing garden roses is early in the season, rather than later when the roses are in flower.
Home Grown Roses
Many of our roses are hybridized and grown on the farm. Our breeding and testing program starts here and continues in a variety of climates. The patio and miniature roses, along with others, are grown own-root in the greenhouses.
Rose Care
Sustainable, common sense gardening is practiced here. We firmly believe that gardening and farming of any type is about working with Mother Nature, not about doing battle with her. From the moment our roses arrive, they are handled with care by rose lovers. We use only the finest soil mixes and best fertilizers. Most of our garden and nursery helpers have been with us for over a decade and take personal care and interest in the roses. We are a passionate group! The use of pesticides is kept to a minimum, with lowest-toxicity, best gardening practices always used first. We believe in keeping our roses healthy and having absolute respect for our land, neighbours and community.
Guarantee
If a Select Rose fails to perform in its first spring/summer, just bring it back to us. We will gladly replace it or give you a full refund. Plants are living things and sometimes things happen; we want to work with you to find out why.
While we would love to be able to control the weather, that is left to Mother Nature -- as are our roses. The roses we offer will survive typical winters when planted and cared for per our instructions; however, even in our mild climate, some winters will pose a challenge. Select Roses cannot take responsibility for winter losses.
