The roses are on their way. The gal who answers the phone for Heirloom wasn't sure if they are coming by UPS or Priority mail, though. No tracking info, either. They only know the date they were processed which I guess means when they were pulled and packed.
She assured me that even if they have to stay in a dark hot box for a week, they'll be fine. One was left behind to grow a bit more. It's scheduled to finish the remedial growing course and be on the way to me on Aug 6. That's not bad, 1 out of 21. I'll come back with pics when they get here.
