Victorian Rose Farm

Steve and Julie Troendly began Victorian Rose Greenhouse to sell cut flowers, but the business has evolved into growing unusual container plants. Their specialty is a large variety of Victorian cutting coleus, several of them their own sports and seedlings. One of the Troendlys’ seedlings was Best in Show at the 2007 Coshocton County Fair. These coleus make excellent container plants in both sun and shade. Victorian Rose also has a large selection of ivies, geraniums, and fuschias. Also available are three varieties of cuphea, Mexican heather, sweet potato vine, Swedish ivy, and double impatiens. Steve and Julie invite you to stop by and chat with them about plants and check out their selections. Happy growing!
