I hesitated over Candy Cane Cocktail and almost ordered it, but I know that it will be available at my local nurseries, where I'll be able to pick out the best-looking one myself. Star Roses are fairly easy to find. Even Home Depot carries them.
I hope you do get Colette one day. It's a fabulous rose.
That's good to hear about Edmunds'. I had given up on them, but i do have some nice Edmunds' roses from a few years ao. Oddly enough, some were ones I bought from Edmunds' during the late-summer half-price sale three years ago, when I didn't really expect anything great. I must admit that those "leftovers" were much nicer than the full-price roses I bought elsewhere earlier in the season.
I wish Palatine still carried Austins. The ones ordered directly from Austin keep getting smaller while the prices keep rising. Pretty soon they'll be on a par sizewise with the Austins from Chamblee, which cost less than half the Austin price.
