Kudo's for Roses Unlimited
I meant to post this when I got the rose- but better late than never.
I've dealt with a few plant retailers in my life, but I've never gotten a live, potted plant in such pristine shape. I hesitated when they said $15 shipping on my single, gallon size plant, but it might have been the last Frances Dubreuil available this year so I went for it. It traveled from South Carolina to NY and arrived as if I'd just picked it up at the nursery down the street. Credit to where it is due-- thanks folks Jim |

What a lovely son you are to go to that trouble and the extra expense. But mums are worth it aren't they.LOL. You must have been meant to get it for her! I'm glad it worked out well for you. Best Wishes Elsie PS Please keep us updated from time to time on it's progress |

[re- the Francis Dubreuil rose]

She loved it. Had never heard of Dubreuil though she has gardened most of her life. It had just the hint of a bud- no swelling, but some reddish leaves when she got it. Got a call last night that the rose had opened and is now adorning their kitchen table. Darker and fuller than they had expected from the picture. Dad gets to do the 'heavy work' so he's preparing to take it in for the winter. It *is* an own-root plant, though, so he's going to take a cutting and leave it outside to see if it is really zone 4 or zone 7. Jim |
