Hi, Steve. Continue resisting.
I was disappointed with the S&W and RVR roses I've received this season, because they looked so inferior to the roses from other sources, but they are at least viable. I might not order from S&W and Edmunds' next year. Their roses are available elsewhere, even if it's sometimes necessary to wait another year. RVR is a different case, of course. Inferior or not, it's often the only choice.
