We have a winner! First, I just wanted to express my gratitude to all of you that left such lovely comments. When I set this giveaway down I thought, “Gee it would be nice if I get about 10 comments” so imagine my surprise when close to 30 showed up! I so enjoyed reading your responses and thank you for sharing your favorite rose. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I think it’s safe to say that all of us rose gardeners are feeling pretty bummed that Vintage Gardens is closing it’s doors. (Thank heavens, though, for the work the Friends of Vintage Roses<\/a> are doing to preserve the collection.)<\/p>\n

\"Book<\/p>\n

I have used their site<\/a> time and again as a learning tool (not to mention have found some of my favorite roses from their collection like ‘Georges Vibert’<\/a> and “Arcata Pink Globe”<\/a>.) Besides their website,\u00a0The Vintage Gardens Book of Roses<\/span> by Gregg Lowery and Phillip Robinson is an invaluable resource for the rose lover. No, really, I can’t even describe how much useful information is packed into this wonderful book (and stunning photos.) That’s why I ordered an extra one so I could give it away to one of you lucky ducks!<\/p>\n

\"BookIf you would like to throw your hat in the ring for a chance to win, leave me a comment here so I know you stopped by. This contest is open to EVERYONE regardless of where you live in the world. If you’re feeling up for it, your comment could include your favorite rose. That kind of information is always appreciated by fellow rosarians! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’ll leave the giveaway open until next week sometime and then randomly choose a winner. Best of luck!!<\/p>\n
