I'm kinda disappointed with my shipment of Palatine. I lost a lot from this shipment. I lost:
Blue Nile

City of Welland
http://www.helpmefind.com/gard...
Charles de Gaulle
http://www.helpmefind.com/rose...
Garden Delight

and I think Monica

However, one that I added in at the last minute, Buxom Beauty, is finally blooming. I'm not going to blame 100% on Palatine.. I will give them another chance w/o hesitation. But Moody Blues was pathetic and Charles de Gaulle was broken when I got him, so I'm thinking that is why I lost CdG. Moody Blues is hanging on by a thread.. I'll be surprised if he survives the winter. I'm going to take most of the blame on myself, but some of the blame isn't my fault. I can't control the fact that winter hung on & on & on & on until mid-late May! Spring didn't hit for me until almost mid June, and then it was SOOOOOOOOOOO dry... My main problem is that I buried the tags deep w/the plants, so I don't know where everyone's at. *sigh* Let's just chalk 2013 to a bad rose year and 2014 will be MUCH better!
