3 ABOUT US Bailey Nurseries is a fifth-generation, family-owned business headquartered just outside St. Paul, Minnesota with a passion for growing. Founded in 1905 by John Vincent (J.V.) Bailey, we now operate on over 5,000 acres in Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and Illinois, and distribute products both domestically and worldwide. This is due in large part to the close partnerships fostered with our customers, licensees and breeders who have helped shape us into who we are today. From our humble beginnings selling bareroot trees and shrubs at the St. Paul Farmers Market, innovation has always been top of mind at Bailey Nurseries. The consistent success of our consumer brands - Endless Summer Hydrangeas, First Editions Plants and Easy Elegance Roses - and the JumpStarts potted liner program illustrate what can be achieved with vision and commitment. This commitment is further deepened through our own plant breeding program in Watkinsville, Georgia, formerly known to many as Plant Introductions, Inc. No matter the size of the company, Bailey Nurseries preserves the tenets of its familial legacy: reliability and consistency in quality and service. There is a focus on providing only the best product on the market with individual interaction and attention. Our large scale allows for a broad offering of product, while the family background ensures personal service. Bailey Nurseries is honored to share its history and expected quality with each of its customers and colleagues worldwide, and looks forward to supporting future generations in creating a more beautiful world.

4 BUILDING A STRONGER FUTURE Horticulture is inherently a business of passion. We dig our hands in the dirt, grow plants to beautify the landscape and commit to the development of new plant introductions. At Bailey Nurseries, we are driven by the love of plants and the collaboration of people to persist as a leading force in this business and create new opportunities. Whether instituting innovative technologies or introducing new varieties, we strive for continued forward movement to expand our company and the horticulture industry. Creating solutions to best serve our customers motivates our growth. We innovate and refine our processes to maintain the highest quality product at the most reasonable price. Whether developing new digging machines, propagating with LED lights or utilizing robotics in production, we are continually building efficiencies to support our customers needs. 2 I

5 PLANT DEVELOPMENT Not only do we strive to implement innovative technologies, but we also have demonstrated dedication to introducing revolutionary new varieties. The plant industry thrives on what s new and we work to support that demand by bringing superior genetics to market. For many years, Bailey Nurseries has supported an in-house plant development program, both for breeding and new plant discoveries. With the 2015 acquisition of Plant Introductions, Inc. (PII), our inhouse breeding program has grown dramatically. Not only has breeding work greatly expanded, but also internal research and trialing programs have been established. Additionally, PII founders Dr. Michael Dirr, Jeff Beasley and Mark Griffith have remained on board as exclusive consultants for breeding, trialing and industry trend analysis. In addition to our in-house breeding program, we have industry-leading partnerships with breeders from around the world. These influencers share top genetics for introduction through one of several marketing options, including direct licensing through Bailey Nurseries or one of our consumer brands. The combined efforts between Bailey Nurseries and external breeding are in place to bring you only the most exciting and highest quality new plants. BaileyNurseries.com I 3

Hardy, vigorous, and resistant to pests and disease, this handsome climber has small red-orange rose hips that carry it into winter. Own root. Hardiness and Rootstock Like color, fragrance and disease resistance, winter hardiness of roses is a complex subject. Numerous factors such as planting site, culture, maintenance, plant health, planting depth and adequate snow cover not to mention minimum temperatures can significantly impact the winter hardiness of any plant. With all this in mind, we have chosen to err on the conservative side when assigning hardiness zone ratings to the roses shown within. In our catalog you will find a notation on whether that particular rose is being offered as own root or budded. With very few exceptions, our shrub-type roses such as the Species, Hybrid Kordesii, Hybrid Rugosa and Shrub classes, are grown on their own roots and are therefore able to come back from the roots even when severe winter damage has occurred. For these roses, we have generally listed the zone at which the crown of the plant is reliably winter hardy. Where we have some evidence that a rose may be hardy in a climate colder than the zone indicated, we have shared that information. All of our budded roses are bud-grafted on osa Dr. Huey, a zone 5 hardy rose that is widely used as a rootstock for grafted roses. Dr. Huey has been chosen for its vigor and non-invasive qualities. With these budded varieties, additional protection must be provided to ensure the winter survival of these tender roses in colder climates. The conservative hardiness ratings shown for our budded varieties reflect this. Several steps may be taken to increase the cold climate survival of our budded roses. By planting the bud union a few inches below the soil line and mounding soil around the canes during winter, you can significantly increase the ability of these roses to withstand winters. Here in Minnesota, our harsh zone 3 and 4 winters have given rise to what s known as the Minnesota Tip. This method of tipping and burying roses for the winter months allows us to overwinter tender roses beautifully (and is much simpler than it may sound). These same methods may also be used to increase the survivability of own root roses that are less hardy than your zone may require. 146
