We're only a month into the winter months in Brookville and Oyster Bay area and officially have two more months to go and we have had enough of the snow. I'm tired of the freezing cold and the constant snow. I see we'll have more snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. I look out the window and I see my roses are all covered with snow. Will they be fine? Yes, they will. It's the freezing and thawing that are not good for them.
We are in the middle of winter and since activities outside are not on our agenda for a while, it is the perfect time to plan our rose garden and order some roses. If you are getting garden catalogs in the mail, you can start browsing through them. Start thinking of what rose plants to buy. But where can you buy them?
I'm putting a list below of Top 10 mail order rose suppliers and they are all excellent sources.

When I first say your title I thought you were getting a jump on Valentine's Day. But planting roses - what a good idea! Thanks for sharing your list!
Brenda - While the snow is piling up high outside, it should be nice to just sit quietly by the fireplace and choose the most beautiful rose in the catalog. How about "Dick Clark" rose?
