That would be interesting. I think J&P originally refused to sell its name to Springhill/Michigan Bulb because that place wanted to move the whole operation, growing fields and all, to Indiana or wherever that place does its growing (and, incidentally, why is Michigan Bulb in Indiana instead of Michigan?). I guess J&P thought South Carolina was more suitable, or maybe it had no choice by that time. I know that the J&P roses were dug out of all the growing fields on the West Coast. J&P failed to pay the growers, the growers dug up all the plants and sold them for a song to wholesalers, and there were some incredible sales of J&P roses around here. Unfortunately, the roses had no labels and they weren't in bloom at the time of the sales, so there was no way to know what you'd be buying.
