@PerfectPlants

The Perfect Plants Roses were still available when it came my turn. What makes it the most fun is that just two weeks before the raffle end I had dug up and discarded five Roses, which left some holes to fill. Big Grin Thank you to their staff (Jaime, in particular) for being so courteous and considerate in accommodating my choices. I tip my hat to you. Good, fast communication, too. Smiling Thumbs up Looking forward to getting the plants here and in the ground. Hurray!

Hopefully they won"t be roasted by the time you get home! Is there a neighbor you could call to take them inside to keep cooler?

No, but the delivery notes from the tracking site states that they placed it at our side door which faces south and is slightly covered. I am not too worried, I just want to see them LOL

I chose the Hollingsworth peony 'Gardenia' and got my email confirmation that it will ship in the fall. Very happy!

Thanks again to all the vendors and donors, and to the Whitinger family for making NGA the best place for information and loads of fun. Group hug

Russian Easter is a beauty. The blooms are consistently well-formed and I like the 30" height.

I got my three Drift Roses from Perfect Plants last week. They were in great shape. Got them planted per the instructions in the front yard. Unfortunately the 'city deer' like them more it seems. I moved my trail cam from the front to the back the other day because there was a doe that weighed about 60lbs or so just strutting through the back munching on my Hibiscus. Didn't catch anything since then so I just moved it out front maybe I'll get lucky and see how big the ones are eating the roses. Of course nothing I can do about it.
