ObsidianFire, like your list! Looks like we have a very similar taste.

Hope you have majority of your roses!

Wish I had thought to double check yesterday. I was able to get 6 of what... 25? and *none* of the ones I wanted from last year, none of the "must haves" on my list. Still... glad to have gotten something.

I had the same experience - very disappointed. I checked in the morning and nothing was available to purchase. Went to PT, came home to find more than half the website was sold out.

It was pretty obvious when the sale started after the site was broken on Tuesday and Wednesday. And with the hints provided also the time.
Hundreds of people were constantly refreshing the page for a few days. The first rose, Golden Ambre, was gone within couple minutes.
PS. I still hope for the nice selection provided by A&A.
