I now check the NO SUBSTITUTIONS box each time I order from them. I've just always been disappointed when the alternative rose showed up instead of the one I really wanted. I get almost as good a deal by just using my ARS membership and getting ten percent off. There were two roses in an order of thirty two that were just struck from the order. Not bad.
In fact, I was so happy with this order that I immediately started working on my second spring order with them. It started with trying to figure out how to use the credit for two roses. Before long I realized that I just wanted more roses. I still have to place it, but I do owe Gita an answer about what to do with the credit. I'll probably repent of this silly rosemania by this time next year, but right now I'm kind of enjoying it.
