You can definitely tell my favorites based on how many pictures of what I have! LOL! I have five hundred million of like Vista & Sterling Silver, but only 3! of OLdG!
here's after about 5 months in teh ground for me.
I think I did some research last year on Armstrong roses, which I guess are out of California, as I bought a ton of Sterling Silvers that were mismarked. I will say that almost 100% of them survived the winter quite well (the ones taht I nearly killed last year in planting/neglecting are iffy looking still). Only found them at HD and only reason why I knew they were Armstrong is that near the rootball was their tag with the actual name of the rose and not what the HD tag said. Hell, I picked up a couple of Sterling Silvers that were tagged like Mr. Lincoln (?)
