Cliff is absolutely amazing. He has this operation working like an assembly line now. Remember when I ordered those roses two days ago? Well, six of them were already delivered to my house this morning. I ordered them on the 18th and they were here on the 20th.

Nellie E. Hillock
My Choice
Pearl Harbor
Caprice
President Herbert Hoover
Princess Margaret Rose

I already have the first three, but they were little band roses from Vintage and they've never done that well. They probably don't want to grow on their own roots.

The next one on the list, Caprice, has always been on Vintage's custom order list and never on the available list. When they offered a free custom-rooted rose if you bought eight other roses a couple of years ago, I ordered that one. They still haven't sent it to me, which means it probably can't grow on its own roots either. Cliff sent me one that's so big that it took up one whole big box and the postage on just that rose was over $15.

President Herbert Hoover and Princess Margaret Rose weren't originally on my order, but Cliff sent me photos he had taken of them that day because they were looking so spectacular this year. I told him to add them to my order, of course.

I already have President Herbert Hoover and I love it, but mine's about 35-40 years old and I'll be very happy to have a duplicate in case the first one croaks.
