3 Peace Hybrid Tea for £3.49 - good deal?
No, this is not SPAM :-)
Wandering through Morrisons yesterday and saw they were selling hybrid tea roses - 3 for £3.49. O.K. so it is right at the end of the planting season, and they are bare(ish) rooted but considering the usual price on the net is around £3-£5 per rose they look good value. I am soaking the roots at the moment as instructed - even though they were in moist compost surrounded by soft paper and inside an individual plastic bag so seemed quite moist. Are these roses cheap because I will lose most of a season while they play 'catchup' - only one has an active shoot growing - or are they a genuine bargain brought about by bulk buying and packaging the most popular varieties? Anyone else had success/failure with these packaged supermarket roses? Cheers Dave R P.S. describes as 'fragrant' but http://www.britishroses.co.uk/hybrid_tea_p02.htm only gives them one star for scent whilst http://www.countrygardenroses.com/in....htm~mainFrame rates them as 'good fragrance' so how do you know how strong they will smell before you buy? Should there be a recognised 'star rating' on the packaging? -- |
