Roses selected for hardiness and performance in the upper midwest

The Apothecary

We offer a selection of the best shrub roses including some of the most exciting new varieties as well as many old favorites.

Among the older roses are varieties that came into existance before the 20th century, including Species Roses, Rugosas, and those known as the earliest cultivated roses listed under Old Roses. Roses of more modern origin include many developed to have the lush feel of some of the Old Roses, such as David Austin's English Roses and Meidilands Romantica® Roses; and others developed to thrive in harsh conditions, such as the roses of Griffith Buck and the Canadian Explorer and Parkland series.

We have recently given our site a facelift with a number of pictures and coming soon, Rose FinderSM to help you find the rose that is right for you. However, if you don't see what you want or if you have any questions please call us at 1-800-558-4180, or at 763-658-4180 in the Twin Cities metro area.
