Nope, that's the every-day price for them. I think they reason why they sell out of roses is because they're the "premier garden center of Colorado". Yes, they're a VERY nice nursery, but damn are their prices ridiculous! The same exact (and I mean SAME exact, the grower is the same one!!) plant that HD sells if it's a locally grown plant will be $5.99 that Tagawa's sells for $14.99. And bad thing is that they sell out!! I think it's because people are still thinking foofoo and that plants from Tagawa's are better. Personally, they're about the same. And I've found the hard way that a lot of the big beautiful plants that Tagawa's has don't survive. They've been grown in a hydroponic state all their lives that their root system NEEDS that nutrient fluid and won't survive on their own in the ground. Last time I bought a delphinium from Tagawa's the root system was hanging out of the pot by like literally 12". I put it in the ground, watered it gently every other day like everything else, and it croaked. Took it back and that's what the one lady said.. they need the hydroponic fluids. That kind of sucks.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
