Cindi - I bought I think only 6. I've uncovered 3 from the gazillon tons of mulch I put down and they're all rotted. Not just dead, but rotted. The root system on each one was just sooooo small. I've only gotten Chamblee roses from the co-op and both times same thing. I figured that the first time it was 100% my fault but this time, I'm going to say it was the roses and not me. For once. I need to find the others. I didn't flag them (I usually put those little yard flags on teeny babies), so I'll just have to wander around and poke through 12-18" of mulch hoping to find them. LOLLL Found 1 of them by accident last night, and when I "dug" it up, the root system was about the size of a half-dollar. Really really pathetic. I should have potted them up for the winter. Oh well. And, I too have had good luck with the bodybags I bought this year! I bought 3, 2 are growing like mad, 1 never broke dormancy.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
