Yes, Cindi, they sent a notice last Friday that the package had been shipped, and the roses arrived on Wednesday. That's enough notice, I think. I didn't pay extra for the notice or even request it, so it must be common policy now.
I didn't request a date. They go solely by USDA growing zones, I believe.
I don't think I ever had a thread asking people to show shipments, but I could be mistaken. Are you thinking of Polly's threads in the Clematis cubit and in the DG Clematis forum?
