Zuzu - I'm gonna have to double check, but I swore that the pot said that this rose was protected by the following patents and they were all the KOR patents.
I've heard only good stuff about Trader Joes. It's unfortunate that we don't have them here. We have Sunflower Market & Sprouts, which, from what I've been told, is pretty close. We also have, of course, Whole Paycheck..er, Whole Foods, but I haven't gone there in years (can't afford it!!). And I don't really like Safeway.. they try to politicize and, basically, harass patrons as they're shopping/checking out (they were going to go on strike and trying to get customers to feel sorry for them because they are having to start paying for health care and they may lose their pensions and they get paid ONLY like $16/hr for cashiering.. wyah wyah.. sorry, off my soapbox now). I found Charisma & Blueberry Hill for the first time at King Soopers (part of the Kroger family), we lost most of our Albertsons but now we have SmartCo, which I *do* like.
And I haven't been inside a Target in years.. never could find any help. Home Depot didn't have J&P roses this year, they had a different brand.. Archman? something like that. They also had another different brand and they've been doing quite well. Lowes had the J&P roses this year.
Here's that mini I got from HD 2 days ago. I need to put it in the ground tonight.
PPal - You shouldn't feel cheated.. you're so close to Tyler that you can get bazillions right from the growers! You're so lucky that way... I'd make it a two-three day trip if I lived that close (4 hours) to make sure I hit all the nurseries. Not to mention you have perfect weather for growing EVERYTHING!!!! Only thing I seem to grow well is weeds.
