Stop & Smell the Roses | a Classic in Ottawa Gardens
Share
Roses are a classic in any garden,
Coveted by gardeners for their timeless beauty and fragrance, roses have long been a classic in the garden.
Many gardeners shy away from roses, believing they are fussy or not hardy enough for our climate. At Gemmell’s, most of the roses we carry are selected specifically for their hardiness and reliability in our region, with a few hybrid teas available for those who enjoy a gardening challenge.
Our roses arrive bare root from an Ontario supplier, where they are carefully selected for quality. They are then pruned, hand planted into our custom growing mix, and grown right here at the garden centre. This extra care ensures strong, healthy plants that are well established and ready to thrive in your garden.
