Chelle, this year I am going to try planting some roses in the fall. I ordered from Palatine last year and asked for them to be delivered in the spring. I've lost a few to the heat. We'll try Palatine's fall delivery this year. Everything I planted last fall made it, but then we really didn't have a winter last year. The winter before had been extremely cold, with temps at 17 below, so last winter I mulched like crazy, and most of the roses didn't even go dormant!
I'll mulch again this year, just in case. As Skie would say, up to their eyeballs!
An email from SW Greenhouses came today. Oh, so tempting. All their 3 gallon roses are $10. It's "just" a 12 hour drive. Do we have any Tennessee people posting or lurking here? Anyone near White House, TN?
Two gallons and minis are marked down also.
Closest I'll be to there in the next month is Louisville, and it's 150 miles away. That's too far.
If anyone gets in on that deal, I hope they report back here.
Today our temps will be near 100, but after that we get nearly a week of 80s/low 90s. Time to get caught up on everything!
