Photo #1 shows progress of April roses; photo #2 shows progress of May roses
The "April" roses have all bloomed; the"May" roses have all leaved out and started to bloom.
The roots of all the Austins were soaked overnight. They were potted in large containers using quality potting mix.
These are the only bare root roses I have ever brought. I can say that without a doubt they are the fastest growing roses I have. In the future I will only purchase bare root roses if available.
Hiyamakki: you can't go wrong purchasing bare root roses from David Austin.
