I would love to hear your recommendations on purchasing four more DA roses, five feet high or shorter. Currently, I have the following:
Munstead Wood
Roald Dahl
Ambridge Rose
Christopher Marlowe
Crocus Rose
Grace
Graham Thomas
I am thinking about purchasing the following:
Jubilee Celebration
Mary Rose
Carding Hill
Emily Bronte
You will note that they are on the short size (supposedly).
FYI my first experience with the David Austin nursery was interesting. On the plus side the roses came well packaged and were in wonderful shape. All have bloomed in the last two months. On the negative side, all the roses had dead canes. This was just irritating. But their customer Service was below par. When I purchased my first ones two or three weeks went by and I heard nothing from them. I was told I would get an email confirmation when they shipped. I didn't get one. I called them and was told they would be shipped the following Monday. Actually, they were shipped the previous Thursday. Since I don't have home delivery the roses could have languished in a hot Hawaiian post office before I found them. Fortunately, I got a call from the post office (it's very small) and was alerted. Also, I asked their customer service person if she could add two small packages of fungi to my order. She said it was too late; it would be an additional $40 shipping. Hum!!!
