I didn't actually thumb through it.. sounds like I may be disappointed. Calif-Sue - oh, no worries, I wasn't planning on ordering from them. I ordered a Yellow Simplicity Hedge for my mother for mother's day like 3-4 years ago.. they sent the 6 roses, it was an absolute nightmare. I ordered in February. I called on Monday before Mother's day & asked for a tracking number, they said that they didn't have it in their system yet, so call back later. I called them back the next day, as the one lady I talked to said to give them 24 hours to find the number, that lady said that they had just been bought, so please give them a little time, I told them that I didn't give a flying foofoo whether they just got sold, they took my money & I want to know where these roses were.. she looked it up & said that the order was in the shipping department and they didn't answer the phone during busy times. I told them that if my mother's roses were late for Mother's day (only ordered 2 months in advance!!) I would be contacting the BBB & possibly suing them for distress, fraud, and another other frivolous thing I could think of. This was Tuesday before Mother's day. Called back on Wednesday and was told that it was mailed out USPS, I told them that I paid for UPS shipping, not USPS, the lady was like, well, it's out of my hands, so sorry, so I demanded a tracking number, she couldn't give me a tracking number because she didn't have one. WTF!! I called back about 6 hours later and got a tracking number, but it wasn't a USPS or a UPS number, so what was it? They couldn't tell me even how the damned roses had been shipped!!! This is Wednesday before Mother's day, for god's sake. I called my mom in tears.. I don't know where her Mother's day gift is.. I ordered it back in February, J&P lost it.. I don't know I don't know.. Mom assured me that it was OK, and not to worry, she knows that I got her something, don't panic (you know how moms are). Saturday afternoon she called stating that FedEx just showed up with a box from J&P and to get a refund. 4 of the 6 roses were dead sticks, 2 had a few leaves on them but were in horrific shape. I called 'em up, but they were closed, so I called back on Monday. They wanted pictures of the roses, I explained that I was in CO, my mom was in NY, I ordered these in Feb early for Mother's day so why in hell did they send her dead sticks? on & on & on. They sent 4 new roses to replace the dead ones plus a "surprise" rose..

Surprise surprise, all died. Only 2 bloomed, and they bloomed PINK!!!!!!!!!!!! Pink? I ordered Yellow Simplicity!! And they were some 5-petaled rose, too!

Never again. Doesn't mean I can't oogle purdy pictures, though.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
