A very apologetic woman just called from Austin roses and said they do not sub without contacting customers, so it must have been a packing error. They will ship out the correct Rose on monday. She said I should have contacted them last year also, that they would have made it right. I now remember that last year, I received a note saying they were out of the one I wanted. This year, I made SURE I said no subs.
Very happy customer now. As I said, the roses look great! Two of those are old garden roses, cl. Sombreuil and Mme. Isaac Pereire. They look grafted, need to check on that. Princess Alexandra of Kent and The Generous Gardener are the other two. Edit:
I actually did plan to buy Generous Gardener locally, so that's not such a bad mistake after all.
