...I bought two of these bareroots from Menagerie Farm this past Spring....

OK, Margie, now I have cancelled my Regan's order (realized that all roses from my list except 1 are in Menagerie as well) and planning to order from Menagerie also will add some more....

Any inside about Loves Me, Loves Me Not? Love this rose!

How stressful to get everything you wanted from them?

I don't remember them offering Loves Me, Loves Me Not last year.
I ordered around 7 roses last April. A couple of days later, I called to add on another rose to my original order. And they would not allow me to add on to the original order. They charged me $34.99 for Singin In the Rain plus $30.27 for shipping. They sent me an email:
"We are not able to combine multiple orders or refund shipping fees for separate orders. Due to our fulfillment process, once an order is placed it goes immediately into processing. If you place multiple orders for the same shipping week, they may arrive in the same box or separate boxes depending on the cold storage location they are pulled from."
I have to say all the roses were in excellent conditon and packaged carefully. I plan
on ordering ONE single order from them again.

I just got back from a two-week trip to Asia and was surprised that some roses were still blooming in the garden. Not the most beautiful photos of them, but I was deeply moved. (Or should I cast a "Go dormant!" spell on them? )

Here are some other plants that haven't been given up yet.





The happiest thing is Hellebores have also started to throw out new flower stems!

Aerith, wow, your roses are still blooming!

Today is "International Tea Day", the rose is:

One last blossom is blooming here, its the hybride tea ´Jubilejni` in a pot.
During the frost we had recently, it was in the garage, otherwise the bud
wouldn´t have blossomed.
