All but three of the fifteen bushes are new plants blooming for the
first time this year. The Monumental and the Climbing Blaze bushes
have been in the ground since August 2005. The Monumental bloomed last
year. The Climbing Blaze did not, so this is their first time
producing roses. Those three and the climbing Don Juan all come from a
nursery that sells only own-root roses. The 3 Mister Lincolns and
Oklahomas are bare-root roses from Wal-Mart. All buds are above the
graft union.

As for the yellow roses, they're all own-root roses bought from various
places across the country.
