Unfortunately, due to weather and a series of other factors we have had a second year of losses that left us with significantly fewer bare root trees to sell.
With Adam and Jenifer both taking on other jobs to make ends meet in their respective lives, we anticipate being able to offer the few trees we have in December ’23/January ’24.
Please stay tuned for updates.

With these losses, we are shifting our focus to care for and maintain the historic varieties in our Mother Orchard as well as offer educational activities rather than bareroot propagation and sales.

We have passionately searched for and re-discovered the living, historic plants still scattered across Northern California from the Gold Rush era. We have personally found these trees and have taken cuttings directly from the ancient, 125+ year old grandmother trees that are still alive on abandoned homesteads, ranches and mining claims.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT, YOUR PURCHASES AND GENEROUS DONATIONS.

If you feel our work is important, please consider a donation to help take care of our Mother Orchard and the historic fruit and nut trees we have discovered

Product Details

Bred by Dr W. Van Fleet in 1910. This beautiful and healthy Rambling Rose Bush is abundant with large pink blossoms and a pleasant mild fragrance. The leaves are a luscious green and seem disease free. It is Disease and Pest Resistant, Drought Resistant and a Vigorous Grower. It was the mother of 'Golden Dawn' the first patented plant. It can ramble an entire block If left unattended with access to water. One of our favorites!

We found this Rose Growing in North San Juan and Grass Valley and does very well in both areas.

Please Note: We do not ship potted plants individually. It is too expensive, but we will ship them when ordered with other barefoot trees. By themselves, they are only available for pick up in N. San Juan.

We want to thank Gregg Lowry and Phillip Robinson who have been happily donating their time an energy to answering all of our rose identification questions! They literally wrote the book on heirloom roses called 'Vintage Gardens Book of Roses'. Out of their love for roses, Gregg and Phillip started collecting roses in the 80's but the collection grew beyond their imagination and more than they could handle. They turned it into the non-profit 'Friends of Vintage Roses' which stewards the massive collection of nearly 3,000 cultivars in the Sebastopol Gardens. They have provided invaluable information to the Rose Story as well as providing material around the globe for study and enjoyment. Thank you so much! Check out their Website here:
