From the President
While
much of the country experienced a summer rebound last week, the Pacific
Northwest got wet. High winds swept
through the region and rainfall totals continued to climb, putting us more than
50 percent above our October average while only half way through the
month! The autumn months are bulb
planting months, but at the moment we are taking a break in the action as we
wait for our fields to dry. November 1st is always the goal, so when Mother Nature allows, we will resume the race against time as we look to finish planting our nearly 1000 acres of daffodil and tulip fields. Down at RoozenGaarde we are busy planting the Display Garden. Though much smaller in size than our fields, it still takes two full months to plant upwards of ¼ million bulbs by hand. YES, we redesign and plant the entire display garden with a new layout each fall! For those of you who fear you may have missed out on your chance to plant bulbs in your home gardens this year, do not worry – you still have time! We've begun shipping bulb orders to our customers in cooler climate as now is the perfect time to get your flowerbeds planted. Remember, you should plant your bulbs immediately upon arrival. Southern states with warmer climates will begin to receive orders after your bulbs have undergone a period of “pre-cooling.” Happy Planting! Leo Roozen Flowers for the Fall
Fresh-cut Autumn
Orange tulips have made their long anticipated return this fall. A supersized bunch, vivid color, and
limited period of availability make this selection our hottest seller during
the cool months of autumn. And if you like your Autumn Orange with a little bit of blue contrast, try this colorful combo! We will transition away from growing Dutch iris at the turn of the year, so get them while they last! Q&A Q: What do the terms “multiply” and
“naturalize” mean when referring to bulbs? Other Fall Fresh-cut Favorites
