It's catch as catch can at the big box stores here, but sometimes they have deals. However, and I say this with no intent of snobbery, most people who shop Lowe's, HD and Wally World are just looking for those petunias, geraniums and ferns to pretty up the porch and those stores rarely have anything beyond that to offer. That said, last year HD did have some great buys on body bag roses and I bought four: Comte de Chambord, Mr. Lincoln, Rose de Rescht and Therese Bugnet, but TB is dead as four o'clock. CdC made it, and I'm waiting to see whether ML and RdR survived. Some of the fault for their demise lies in my not getting them planted soon enough after purchase, so I can't lay all the blame on them being bag roses.
I have enough roses ordered this spring to tide me over 'til fall, but few enough compared to Zu and Mike!
