I'm quite sure that almost everyone has at least leaves by now, if not blooms! I'm lucky that I have green on my canes right now, considering we're supposed to get another 2-4" of snow tomorrow!

I got in a Michigan Bulb catalog in yesterday's mail. I haven't ordered from them in years, but they still keep sending me catalogs. So I just rummage through it, creating a wishlist that I'll order from some place else or see if I can find locally. Found 3 roses that I just HAD to have!

Blue Satin - http://www.michiganbulb.com/pr...
Dark Dragon - http://www.michiganbulb.com/pr...
Shamrock - http://www.michiganbulb.com/pr...

Then you actually *read* the listing and come to find out that... well, none of these are what Michigan Bulb are labeling them as! "Blue Satin" is actually Blue Girl, which I have a number of; Dark Dragon is just Purple Tiger, which I have as well & doesn't look half as dark as their picture; and Shamrock is just St. Patrick, which is yellow here in CO and never ever ever shows green.

False advertisements?

Oh well, so here's a Picante to brighten everyone's day!
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
