Emporium
Continued from Page 1
Shoup said because of the tra
ditional sit-in-a-vase long
stemmed rose, old roses have re
ceived an unfair shake in the gar
den world. But Shoup’s emporium
is dispelling that myth. His idea is
to bring back the fact that roses are
indeed garden friendly.
“We want to show off how people
can use roses in a garden setting,” he
said. “The older roses are very low
maintenance and are survivors.”
The atmosphere is straight out of
an English garden, fully equipped
with a wood-paneled cottage and a
garden gazebo.
Visitors can walk the trails, enjoy
the outdoors and if they wish, pur
chase a plant they would like to add
to their own personal garden.
Henry Flowers, retail manager of
the Emporium, who feels his last
name has no connection to his pro
fession, said the atmosphere gives
visitors a first-hand look at what
plants look like in a garden setting.
“You can come and see things
planted in the. ground,” he said.
“Many nurseries just have potted
flowers, and you have to know what
you want. At the botanical gardens
you can just look, and then have to
go search for what you like later. So
we are really a cross between a nurs
ery and a botanical garden.”
There is another location of the
Emporium in San Antonio that
takes on a Spanish theme. In Geor
gia, there is a version of the Empo
rium with a true southern flare. All
emporiums sell through mail or
der and sell plants at whole sale to
nurseries.
Shoup said giving a theme to a
personal garden is one of the beau
ties gardening brings.
“If you are inside someone’s
house and they have chosen a cer
tain wallpaper or paint color, that is
like looking into a window of their
personalities; the same is with gar
dening,” he said.
Calm and serene during the hot
muggy days of the summer, the em
porium attracts few passers-by in
the late season, a contrast to the
2,000 visitors they receive daily in
the spring.
Edith Perry, a customer of the
Antique Rose Emporium, traveled
from Dallas to purchase an old rose
plant, despite the humid weather.
She has accumulated about 30 var
ieties of antique roses and said their
low maintenance and constant
bloom enticed her to collect.
“They have a wonderful perfume
and color,” she said. “They are real
ly very soft and much different than
the long stemmed roses.”
Shoup said though the spring
traditionally attracts garden lovers,
the winter provides an equally
beautiful atmosphere.
Shoup said roses’ sweet smell
evoke emotion and truly have a
soul. But he did not reveal any tips
as to which type of roses one
should buy their sweetheart on
Valentine’s Day.
“She (his wife) is bored with all
the roses I give her,” he said.
Above: Customers are invited to walk around the porch and
retail area to browse the potted plants.
