Roses were North Creek's original specialty and remain so. I'm sure
many of you visiting this site are in search of roses.
We feature Rugosa roses and
a sprinkling of other hardy and undemanding roses. North Creek is
a warm zone 5 but not an easy climate with ferocious winds and winters
mostly open, often icy, without a benevolent snow cover. However,
most all of our roses will be hardy to colder zones. Feel free to
inquire about hardiness recommendations.
I'm assuming that most
folks interested in the less usual types of roses we offer will
be knowledgeable gardeners but for those of you who are unseasoned,
these roses are no nonsense, easy to grow and appropriate subjects
for novice rose growers.
All of North Creek's gardens
are organic and consequently the approximately 400 varieties of
roses here do well under this regime. No pampering and no spraying
and often little or no attention from season to season. But these
roses do need their requirements met and good siting is most important.
Roses like sun, at least 6 hours of strong light. Reblooming roses
require more light - once bloomers are more accommodating. Roses
also require good drainage, no fudging here. A good sized planting
hole with good tilth and fertile soil will definitely pay dividends.
Other than that - good roses are shrubs and behave likewise and
common sense gardening is all that is needed.

There is a moment when the tides of a season actually turn ....
I was just there this evening when I was drawn to take a stroll
through the gardens. The temperature and breezes were benign, the
sun's slant was higher and ever so soft, warming the colors of spring
... and the sweet zephyrs transported the first perfumes of spring
... and the new grass was so very very green it made me squint to
take the colors in!
