They don't have a very good review on the "watchdog" link of a site that isn't allowed to be named on GW...... 225 positives, 74 neutrals, &188 negatives.

I've bought many bulbs from Breck's before and never had a problem with them but I have no idea how their roses would be. Interesting that they're branching out into roses.

Well, I'll be finding out this spring. I ordered NEIL DIAMOND just because no one else is offering him so far. I'm a stripey lover, so had to give it a try!

I've ordered bulbs and plants from them as well and have had pretty good luck. Most have been healthy and grown as expected, and they've been good about replacement when things have gone awry. I did order a mystery grab bag last year and it took them more than six months to ship it - every time I checked the order status the shipping date had been pushed back. But in the end I got a nice selection of tulips, lilies, hyacinth and daffodils. We'll see how they grow this spring.

I saw an interesting thread from a couple years ago about Gardens Alive taking over Weeks roses - they also own Brecks, Spring Hill, Michigan Bulb, and a few catalog companies in Canada. It was pretty pessimistic for the most part.

I also sent Brecks an email asking about their supplier for roses and information about the rootstock used etc. They wrote back promptly (wrote it yesterday and heard back this morning) and politely told me that they couldn't tell me anything.

I'll be interested to hear about Neil Diamond this spring, Beth! They carry Diamond Eyes, which I'm trying to find, but not in Canada, which is where I live.

From Weeks, they are most likely grafted on Dr. Huey rootstock.
