LENTENROSE.COM was founded in 1999 by Richard Giardini, in Athens Georgia. He began his first Lenten Rose garden on the shrub border surrounding his house from a handful of seeds donated by a generous neighbor. Shortly thereafter, his humble garden grew to encompass his whole back yard! In 2001, Richard purchased five overgrown wooded acres where he and his partner Sky continued growing and growing and growing more Lenten Roses.
Lentenrose.com now occupies two properties and almost 10 acres boasting over 20,000 fully grown 5 to 10 year old plants, and yearlings numbering in the, well, too many to count.
Currently we are specializing in seeds, 2 year olds, flowering mature plants and cut flowers.
98% of sales are internet based. All plants are sold and shipped moistened bare root.
LENTENROSE.COM no longer sells containers.
