| I went to purchase roses. On each bag, there were numbers, 1, 1 1/2, 2, etc. There were roses called "Blaze" with each number on the bags. The price of the plant changed if the number was different. Example: #1 Blaze was $5.00 # 1 1/2 Blaze was $7.00, etc. Is this number telling the QUALITY of the plant, and if so what exactly does each mean? |
| The number indicates the grade of the individual rose plant and is determined based on the size and number of canes it has. A #1 is the best grade and consequently usually costs more than the lesser grades. The lesser grades will usually grow a bit slower and be less vigorous for at least the first year and are smaller plants to start with. |
