Champlain is an easy-to-grow rose that is covered in clusters of velvety dark-red, semi-double blossoms from early summer to frost. It's a delight in the garden because it's always in bloom. The foliage is a dark green and healthy, so it's easy to maintain. This low-growing rose is easy to put in just about garden. It makes a great hedge, a focal point where you need color, or place it in perennial gardens or mixed borders. Champlain is winter hardy to crown for us in northern Zone 4. We just cut back the canes each spring, and Champlain vigorously regrows every spring.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page. |
