By William C. Welch | Foreword by Neil Sperry
For generations, antique roses have graced Southern gardens with their beauty, fragrance, and remarkable resilience. In Antique Roses for the South, renowned horticulturist William C. Welch celebrates these time-tested treasures while offering practical guidance for growing and enjoying them in the unique conditions of the South.
From beloved favorites like ‘Belinda’s Dream,’ ‘Katy Road Pink,’ and ‘Georgetown Tea’ to lesser-known gems, Welch explores the history, character, and garden-worthy qualities of more than 100 antique roses. Many of these roses are celebrated for their hardiness and ease of care; some have continued to thrive for decades with little to no attention.
This revised edition is filled with beautiful photography and updated information on where to find these exceptional roses. Gardeners will also find helpful chapters covering rose care and propagation, landscaping and arranging, and creative rose crafts.
Whether you're dreaming of a fragrant cottage garden, a rose-covered trellis, or simply want to discover roses that can flourish with less fuss, Antique Roses for the South is an inspiring and practical companion for growing old roses in Southern gardens.

We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
