I'm very unhappy! I went to Tagawa's Nursery (the closest LGS to me) and talked to Lynn (the rosarian there) back in Feb to be assured that she'd gotten K&M otherwise I would have ordered it elsewhere. She said, no problem, K&M plus Sugar Moon (but not Twilight Zone).

Went there yesterday to take stock of all their roses (and take pictures.. and of course I left my camera at home!!). NO K&M. NO SugarMoon. In fact, like nobody new or exciting! Talk about BLEH! In fact, the only blue roses they have this year are Intrigue & Heirloom! Not even BlueGirl or Stainless Steel or Sterling Silver! They had those last year.. tons of them, and they sold out like hotcakes in the beginning of their sales ("Night of Wine & Roses"). I'm VERY disappointed!

Here's a teeny sample of the roses at Tagawa's Nursery. You can see on the right that the Midas Touch are from Weeks, the ones on the left are from Star. Thumb of 2012-04-17/Skiekitty/a83ce6

Hopefully Paulino's will have K&M & SugarMoon.. I have to make a run up that way & find out! I just hate that drive! I *did* go to a different nursery on Saturday & they had gotten in 2 K&Ms.. but those sold that same day, so they'll get more. I *did* pick up a Midnight Blue (really good shape) because I had lost mine (I killed the poor thing.. it really needs partial sun!). Then we got snow on Sat night and it snowed half the day yesterday, but it didn't stick, so I'm not complaining.. free moisture!!

Betty - I just hope that it shows more Mustard than it's showing now.. that's what really looks soo cool about K&M!
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
