It definitely would be fun for me to have some of those pernetianas. I love pernetianas, but it's still too long to wait. As for different and new, I count on each year's new introductions to fill that need. No matter how crowded my garden gets, I still manage to find room for a few of the newest roses each year.
As for Roses Unlimited, which I love, I used to wait for the sales to make most of my purchases because the high shipping cost per rose seemed exorbitant, but now that some other nurseries are raising the cost of their gallons to $20+, a $16 gallon plant from Roses Unlimited sounds like a true bargain even with the $8 shipping charge tacked on to it.
I was sorely tempted to order a few gallons from Rogue Valley, but the gallon price has gone up to $24 on most of the ones I wanted, and that doesn't include shipping. In fact, it's exactly the same price as the RU rose after the addition of shipping charges.
