Chamblees has Honey Sweet also. I grow it and love it. It did great last year. It also had very little die back this year in spite of the terrible cold and ice storms.
I rarely go to Home Depot, unless Lowe's doesn't have something I need. I had bought plants from the local Home Depot in the past and they died. The plants on display are sickly and not well cared for, especially the roses. That may be just the local store manager's fault. The store itself is not nearly as well organized as Lowe's.
Lowe's is starting to get garden things in stock. The only had a few sickly Floral Carpet roses. No thank you. I always seem to miss the great deals at Lowe's. My neighbor got a flat of pansies for a quarter. Unless I see a large, very healthy, own root rose at a very good price, I will pass. I always check Walmart in case they get Austin roses in again. I had gotten Wildeve there several years ago.
The stores here haven't even gotten the body bags and the knockouts in yet. So far, I see mostly annuals and tomatoes. I start more interesting varieties from seed. Our official last frost date is the end of May. So far, the stores have all of their plants inside.
