I saw Jubilee Celebration at Paulinos Gardens last year. I don't do that good w/Austins, but doesn't mean I don't like to oogle! Roses at Tagawa Gardens are usually between $36.99/$39.99 but I get a 20% "Grey Kitty" discount. Paulinos are usually $24.99 from May 1st through Mother's Day, then up to $29.99. I haven't lost a single Paulinos because they're not really hot-house grown, they're semi-outdoor grown in peat pots. Tagawas have to be hardened because they're 100% hothouse grown. Those that I have managed to keep for a year have done marvelously.. it's just getting them through their first summer. They're very very thirsty roses compared to everyone else. Here's a video from this year's "Wines & Roses" mob from Tagawa's site:
