Cool Roses

Cool Roses, owned and operated by Geoff and Debbie Coolidge, is located in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the low temperature rarely goes below 45 degrees, and them usually for just a day or two. Palm Beach County is North America's closest point to the warm Gulf Stream, which runs from South America all the way up to the north east coast. We grow roses year round, and especially enjoy our roses during the winter months. We have grown roses since 1995, when we first discovered Old Garden Roses. Our “bible” then was Landscaping with roses, and more recently, Roses in the Southern Garden (our copy is signed by the author, Michael Shoup). In our zone 10 climate it is necessary to grow our roses on Fortuniana rootstock in order to have maximum performance. Our hobby has now become our vocation and we enjoy the process of rooting, budding and exhibiting our roses. We hope you will enjoy your rose growing experience as much as we have! We also currently maintain over 50 rose gardens in Palm Beach County. we are members of the Greater Palm Beach Rose Society, the American Rose Society, and Consulting Rosarians. We can help you with design and install a beautiful rose garden. Yes you can grow roses in Florida!
