Abstract

Raymond and Michal Graber, owners of Old Sheep Meadows Nursery in Alfred, insist that anyone who can grow vegetables in Maine can also grow roses. The couple has developed a plant list of over 200 roses that can take Maine winters. In addition to hardy roses, the Grabers have a huge collection of daylilies--750 named varieties plus dozens that Raymond has hybridized himself. Before turning to the nursery full time, he was a plant ecologist at the University of New Hampshire. Michal takes time from the nursery to design gardens for private clients and consult with garden clubs throughout the state.
