Founder and former owner of Antique Rose Emporium, Mike Shoup, is an expert rosarian with a passion for Found and Antique Roses. Shoup is also the author of The Guide to Antique Roses, where he dives into his love for roses, rose history, a thorough care guide, and explanations of the different classes of roses. In this book, he goes over details such as rose training and taking cuttings, along with descriptions of many roses we carry here at Antique Rose Emporium. With 100 pages to flip through, you can reference the easy index at the back to find specific roses.
We ship our roses from September to May. Other items ship year round.
At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
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.
