I think also it's because the only Star Roses I've gotten were from Tagawa's.. and I've already established that Tagawa's roses don't do well for me. Went there today, lots and lots of roses had been sold during their "Night of Wines & Roses". They were sold out of Sterling Silver & Pope John Paul II. Found 1 Scentamental that had been labeled as Perfect Moment.. not even close! LOL
I do know that J&P are not as good. Got 1 J+P Sunsprite & 1 HD-brand (probably Armstrong) Sunsprite & planted them literally like 6 ft from each other. The J&P didn't bloom as much nor did it grow as big.
