Oh, good. I'm glad I didn't discard them. I have at least 10 more for you (and more arriving all the time).
Do you want a nice golden-chartreuse Spiraea? I can't remember its name, but it looks really good with purple stuff planted around it (until it spreads and suffocates all of the purple stuff). Actually, it's fairly short, so I think it's easy to keep within bounds.
The Heirloom box turned out to contain only four roses. The others are now in back-order hell. The main ones did arrive, however: Star of the Nile, September Song, Tom Brown, and The Impressionist. This is the second time I've ordered The Impressionist from Heirloom and the little baby they sent me today is actually taller than the one I've been trying to grow since 2008.
Tom Brown is also a duplicate. The one I have from Vintage is still tiny after five years. Maybe I'll have better luck with the Heirloom baby. September Song is also a duplicate -- well, sort of. I bought one from Great Lakes Roses, but it's pale pink, which has no connection to the "real" September Song rose (and nothing to do with the month of September in general).
I'm a little worried about September Song. The Heirloom Website calls it an apricot blend, but their photo of it looks pink. Roses Unlimited supposedly has it and calls it an apricot blend, but their photo of it is pale pink. I can't help suspecting that Heirloom, RU, and Great Lakes all took cuttings off the same mislabeled rose.
