Thanks everyone for inputs!
LG, I checked Lowes, Home Depot and Wallmart, our stores have much poorer selection than Anchorage. I have not checked all local greenhouses though, it would take a lot of time. I was happy to find free shipping option online. I will plant TMC the first of all my peonies this season!
Linda, no way I question the quality of Adelman's roots, they are superb! I had 35 potted peonies last winter and lost 12 due rotting and 2 more are probably also died. I had 6 potted peonies the previous fall with no problem and this time decided to follow somebody's advise to keep them outside for cold treatment. It was a bad idea in my case. We took them indoors to a cool place only on October 22, probably too late. People say freezing/unfreezing is the worst for potted peonies, I trust this although in my case there were not so many of these events in the fall, our temperatures go low pretty steady, not so many ups and downs. Recommendations for our climate to plant peony roots in the ground in the fall is only until mid-September and some roots arrived later last year. And it was my fault also not to prepare all places for new roots (due to weather and lack of time). I hope all planted in the ground last fall will emerge, it will be clear in ~3 weeks.
Alex, I will see if I will need to do this treatment. I am trying to save as many plants as possible, I don't like watch they dying, also I spent quite some money and already re-ordered the same varieties, I am grateful to people helping me to replace a few lost peonies.
