I have to say I had a very good experience with Pickering. All of the roses I ordered (only 3) were shipped bare root and I didn't receive them until Nov. I fretted that they would not get established soon enough to live over winter, but they did better than the roses I received in pots already rooted. The roses I ordered from Pickering were Charlotte, Gertrude Jekyll and Tradescant. I would order again from this nursery.
This is Charlotte in bud.
