WooHoo! My Hortico roses arrived today and they look just great! Janice, thanks so much for bringing Hortico back to my attention. The accuracy of the labeling remains to be seen, of course, but if they all turn out to be the roses I actually ordered, I'll be delighted to start shopping at Hortico regularly again.
If you enlarge the photo, you'll see all nine. The one on the far left is a beauty. It and the one closer to the middle with all those many canes are Austins -- Sweet Juliet and William Morris.
There are nine of them, and they're supposed to be:
Magic Beauty
Martha Allen
Audrey Wilcox
Creme Caramel
Darling Annabelle
Expression
Sweet Juliet
William Morris
Just Joey
All but Just Joey will be new to my garden. What fun!
They actually look as good as the Palatine roses, but they cost less. Palatine charged me $148.60 for 8 roses, plus $25.75 for shipping, and Hortico charged me $134.91 for 9 roses, plus $19.00 for shipping.
