Oh good job, Toni!
Now I'm jealous!
I could have put a big dent in their stock, for sure.

Well, today got more additions. And as the weather is holding, I'm gonna keep adding! Right now I can hear rumbles from a thunderstorm that's heading my way, so they'll go into the ground tomorrow. Went to Country Fair garden center & The Gardnes of Highlands Ranch & picked up 6 more at $10/ea. these are *nice* 3 gal Weeks roses!! Can't beat that! Got Lynn Anderson, Marmalade Skies, Elle, Purple Tiger, Hansa, & Stormy Weather.

Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...

I agree. Good Job.

I have sworn off fall planting of roses, but even then I'm green with envy.

When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes.

Well Stormy Weather was an appropriate buy. The thunderstorm you heard was over our house. Wow was it loud. So far, 3" rain, and my dead grass is brilliant green. Thank you Thor! Toni, you are the queen of plant deals. What a find!

Spent all yesterday afternoon putting in the roses. It was about 48degs & raining the entire time. When I was done, I was soaked & frozen stiff, but I got them in & buried up to their eyeballs in mulch. This is the 5 I got a Country Fair, I didn't take a pic of the 6th from Gardens of Highlands Ranch.
