I understand something of what it is to endure a long wait for roses. I ordered my Vintage Gardens roses during a Fall sale and asked them to hold them until late April, which they graciously agreed to do. It's given me a lot of time to consider where I will squeeze them into the garden. But I'm still puzzling over that question for a few of them. Good luck with the Heirloom order; Good News certainly is an unusual rose and I'm sure if you give it good care you will be delighted.
