Time to check out the latest new roses at the Antique Rose Farm in Snohomish on Springhetti Road! Saturday was the perfect overcast but warm day to explore this fascinating property. The owner and his wife have had this business for over 30 years, and they both admit that they first bought the property just for the lovely turn-of-the-century barn. It's beautifully built, it's huge, and it's full of antiques from the Snohomish area.
There were huge baskets and hydrangeas, and so many roses to choose from. We settled on a new variety called "Adobe Sunset", and it's a beautiful orange/yellow rose. It's designed to be hardy in the Pacific Northwest, similar to the Julia Child roses. We'll be planting it later this week.
