Ouch! That's a hefty addition to your monthly budget.
I'm not trying to force you to buy roses from RU. I was just clearing up a misunderstanding. You said their prices were "a bit much for a rooted cutting compared to Heirloom's," so I wanted to let people know that their prices actually are lower than Heirloom's and their roses are at least 5 times the size of Heirloom's.
Besides, Alan, you said you might do a cluster of three. If you ordered the three from RU, you'd pay a little less and have a much more impressive cluster right away, and that would solve the problem of having to buy a minimum of three.
