S&W Greenhouse (was Breaking Dormancy...)
In article m,
says...
Kim--they are wonderful! I ordered my bare roots last fall. (I am a
true rose junkie, still had some in pots that had to go into the
ground at that point and I was ordering for Spring 2003!)
They deliver in late February--apparently to everyone. These bare
roots were among the biggest and healthiest I have ever seen!
LONNNNNNG roots, and lots of them, and plants with 5, 6, and more
canes, all very green and fresh. They are only a distributor but they
clearly take good care of their roses. I saw canker on one of the
roses, emailed them, got a response the next day and a replacement
rose two days later with no questions asked.
All except two are leafing out--of the two one is looking iffy--one
cane is blackening.
S&W apparently does not ship to California, but for those of us living
elsewhere, they are a great source! And the PRICES! Some of my roses
cost $12.99 a piece. I can't get them here for less than $16.
Let me know how the potted ones come. I might just be tempted to try a
few!
I will let you know, for sure! They didn't come this week so it SHOULD be next
week. I was so impatient I emailed them and they said VA and WV were shipping
this week and next.
