Kassia - I wouldn't recommend getting roses on eBay. You're taking a big risk there. I've bought roses 6 times and only 2 transaction were decent ones, and one seller was from England! That's where I got my Summer Holiday & Doris Tystermann. I also got Harlequin from a seller (longagoroses
http://www.ebay.com/sch/longag...) and the rose they sent me was in pretty good shape for the price. The other times either they sent me a mismarked rose, a bunch of dead dried out sticks, or a sprig that was so teeny I'm surprised it survived (that's how I got my Golden Princess). The guy from England only sells in the winter, which is a very hard time for me to buy things w/the weather & all.
I'm not seeing aphids, either! An overabundance (not that I'm complaining!) of ladybugs, but hardly ANY aphids of any color or stripe.
