We have partnered with Texas A&M to test the "National EarthKind" roses. This National EarthKind Test Garden in Gresham, OR. is the only complete test garden on the west coast. There are 30 hardy varieties that have been randomized in 3 different blocks (90 roses in all). This garden was planted in the fall of 2007. Seventeen of the EarthKind rose collection are Dr. Griffith Buck's roses. We also have planted an additional selection of Easy Elegance Roses from Ping Lim's breeding program. The Knockout series of roses are on display with 140 Double Knockout roses that line our driveway.

Come and see how natural own-root roses can grow in a chemically free setting. You will learn how to utilize nature to build a sustainable rose garden. If you are looking for practical ways to have a garden full of life, we can help. Check out the web pages under the information links, email your questions, or come by for a visit. Our goal is to help you understand how the garden is naturally productive, the way God designed it to work.
