If you think the bare root roses and their abused root system is a fright when you get them, you should see how they just rip the entire plant out of the ground when they harvest them ! It's brutal ! Yet, like you said it's amazing they grow back.
I'm mainly referring to the ones that are grown in fields out on this side of the country.
You'd be amazed at how many people handle them before they get to the consumer.
