| I have created a list of roses I wish to purchase from Palatine Roses. However, it is unclear to me how to complete my order: 1.Do you have to order by telephone or can you send your list by fax or email; 2.Can you pay by credit card or do you need to send a check. Thanks for your help |

| The shopping cart won't be operable until the morning of September 14th. At that time, you'll be able to click on the roses you want and then pay for them by credit card. You might be able to order by telephone or email and to pay by check, but none of that will be possible until the morning of September 14th. |

| Also, Dennis, don't forget about the difference in time zones. Orders will begin to be taken at Palatine at 9:00am Eastern Time on September 14th. Hawaii is six hours behind Ontario, so that means you can start placing your order at 3:00am that day. Don't be alarmed if the website suddenly says its closed for maintenance. There's so much traffic on opening day for orders that the website usually crashes a few times. Just keep trying until your full order is placed. Good luck! |

| I did mine online last year, several hours after they opened (I'm a teacher and had to wait for my break period!), and it was fine. Their communication and customer service was superb from placement to delivery. |

| It depends on the desirability of the roses. Last year three roses were already sold out in the first 40 minutes. |

| Zuzu, I'm curious—which three roses sold out so quickly? |

| I don't remember their names, unfortunately. I just remember posting that three were already sold out that morning. At the time, there was no reason to post the names because anyone could have gone to the website to look for the "sold out" signs. Later posts that day, however, reported that Chartreuse de Parme, Black Caviar, Garden Sunshine, and Barock were also sold out. |

| Having said that about waiting for several hours to make my Palatine order last year, I can give you an update on Regan's mail order opening today. I went there around noon (Pacific) and Papa Meilland was already sold out, and I may have gotten the last Honey Dijon, b/c the website said there was one left, and after I made my order, it was sold out. So don't dally. |

| I placed my order from Regan's Nursery today: Singin' in the Rain: This is one of the very first roses I started with, more than 20 years ago. We've moved during that time, so I'm really looking forward to replacing it as I've missed having it in the garden. Purple Tiger: A shorty, but a really fun rose. It, too, is a replacement after moving seven years ago. George Burns: An outrageous striped rose. Hopefully it doesn't smell like cigar smoke. Twilight Zone: This grandiflora is promoted as resembling a bigger version of the floribunda Ebb Tide, which was one of its parents. I grow Ebb Tide, so it should be fun to compare the two. |

| Unfortunstely I won't be placing an order with Palatine this year. I used up my plant budget at K & M. My wishlist is only 3 three plants. If I'm lucky maybe I'll be able to pick them up potted in April. A phytosanitary certificate is only $25. Covid permitting! I normally visit my parents at Easter and Palatine isn't much of a detour on the way back from Toronto. |
