Wellllll........... my order from Roses Unlimited arrived today. I'm going to have to hunt for the SD card that has the pics I took of my Chamblee order, but seriously, I think the Chamblee roses are bigger than the ones from RU. Not that either were small for a 1 gallon rose, not complaining, you understand. Well I guess I am complaining about the shipping cost from RU. The roses do look healthy, and Glamis Castle has a bloom on it. They are definitely 2 yr, own-root roses. None of the Austin roses have any canes as large as a pencil, but Guy de Maupassant is a bit bigger.
This year, the clear winner in my orders was Palatine, hands-down.
