Many of mine have suffered a considerable amount of dieback since they arrived. Perhaps it's my choices. Most of my roses are hybrid teas.
Have you ever ordered from Palatine, Chelle? Their roses are easily one and one-half the size of Hortico's, and even Pickering's are larger than Hortico's. But then again, I'm comparing bare-root hybrid teas from these three companies, and it's possible that Hortico is superior in some other area of the rose market.
