Antique roses at...WalMart?
Yep. Old Blush, St. David's, Blush Noisette, Mutabilis,
and a few others, apparently on their own roots, for about $7 each at a WalMart StuporCenter in north Florida, fairly good size in 2-ish gallon pots. First they sell some own-root bare-root bushes, roots packed in wood waste in those nasty little plastic-wrapped cylinders, earlier in the year, and now this. Yeah, I bought a couple that I don't already have. Mixed emotions he it's good to see fine old varieties offered in the mass market, and apparently on their own roots, but this might do the small rose nurseries more harm than good: people will expect bigger plants for less money. Compared with the small but vigorous bushes I have gotten by mail-order from e.g. The Uncommon Rose and Chamblee's, these are giants (if a bit bedraggled from shipping and WalMart handling) -- and that's the problem. Mark., should have spotted the trend coming |
