My Pickering roses arrived yesterday. It was raining too much to plant them, so I didn't even open the packing box. Today I opened it up to find beautiful rose bushes, with nice long roots. I was especially excited to get Ralph Moore's Hope and Joy. It's a mini and for some reason it's quite fragile. I've already killed two of the own-root ones, one from Sequoia and one from Nor'East, but now that I have one grafted onto multiflora it should do just fine.
