Roses are a beautiful addition to any landscape. The only drawback to growing a yard full of roses is the cost. Roses can be very expensive depending on the type, class, color and origination. Location also plays a big part in the ever-rising cost of rose bushes.
Knowing where to find cheap roses is the key to growing roses on a budget. Getting roses at a discount is as simple as shopping around and comparing prices.
Where to Buy Cheap Roses:
- Local Nurseries- Local nurseries are a good place to find beautiful roses bushes that are almost guaranteed to adapt and thrive well in a specific location. Depending on the type of roses they can be found fairly cheaply at local nurseries ranging from $5-25 dollars.
- Backyard Nurseries- Backyard Nurseries as well as Ma & Pop stands are a great place to find plants, including roses at deep discount. Since there usually is no middle man, the prices are a lot lower than what would be found at large retailers. Backyard nurseries also produce great roses bushes that will adapt to the region they are being purchased in.
- Mail Order Catalogs- Mail order catalogs can be a great source for discounted roses depending on the company and the amount being ordered. Some mail order catalogs have a minimum amount to be purchases while others don’t. Some also give huge discounts on 3 or more roses of the same type and also offer rose ‘collections’ that will allow the buyer to save several dollars while buying several roses of different types. These are usually the best method of buying discount roses from mail order catalogs. As with any type of buying, price comparison is a must when purchasing from mail order catalogs since there are some out there that will charge more than what they are worth.
- eBay- Another great source of discount roses, as well as a wide variety, is eBay. With multiple regions, growers and sellers commencing and competing for business on eBay there are thousands of rose varieties at unbeatable prices. Whether it’s a typical or a rare rose, it will most likely be on eBay. Shop around and check for the best prices on both common and uncommon roses.
- Save Money and Grow Your Own Roses from Cuttings- Last but not least, the most cost-effective method of getting new roses is to grow them from cuttings. Growing roses from cuttings is fairly easy and will save a ton of money. Step by step instructions for growing roses can be found at “How to Grow Roses from Cuttings”.
Growing beautiful roses is very simple. Knowing where to get the best discounts will come with buying experience.
