They have a really nice selection this year:

I bought roses from them a couple of years ago and was really disappointed with two of them, which refused to grow nicely and look sick to this day. The rest of the roses from S&W behaved well, but because of those two, I was wary and didn't order anything last year.

I ran across my 2010 invoice from them a few days ago and noticed that the two sickly roses were the only own-root ones in the bunch. That explained a lot. I have no reason why a nursery that sells grafted roses would suddenly send own-root Spellbound and Lady Bird bushes out to their customers. Those are two roses that benefit greatly from grafting.

This year the only own-root roses they have are minis and shrubs, which is as it should be. Smiling
