Chris’ Hardy Rose Collection

Below are images from Chris’ rose collection that he has at his house in West Newbury, VT. These are all roses that have survived for years in a Zone 4a climate. When Chris grows a rose, he is looking for two main criteria: hardiness and fragrance. Many of these roses have both. We at E. C. Browns’ Nursery have some, but not all of these roses. Enjoy.
