If Hortico hadn't jerked me around so much, this would be my least favorite nursery.

I ordered two roses from them 4 years ago. Kaleidoscope is still only about 8 inches tall and Gloire de Dijon stayed small for a couple of years and then started growing and blooming. Unfortunately, the blooms bore no resemblance to Gloire de Dijon. I'm not sure whether it was mislabeled or they simply don't know their roses and weren't aware they were selling the wrong thing. At any rate, that was a 50% error rate, so it's no wonder Jeri Jennings calls it "Err-loom Nursery."
