Thanks Mike! It really bothers me too, seeing all those poor, languishing roses. They hack so many roots off to make them fit into the bags its a wonder they survive as often as they do.
I got the other 8 planted this morning. I had her garden (the lady I do garden work for) ready for them last fall, so the digging went fast. It's supposed to start raining this afternoon and be rainy for several days and I really wanted to get them all in the ground before it starts, so I'm breathing a sigh of relief.
