| I got one shipment on Thursday & the 2nd came today. The 5 in the first box were smaller then expected & was really worried about the 2nd box having small cuttings. I was pleased to find larger rose, its more what I expected. I was so excited I forgot to take a pic till I was over 1/2 done unpacking. Audrey Wilcox |

| Funny thing both packages were mailed & left Oregon at the same exact time, one package came straight to me & the 2nd went to San Francisco first. I dont know how the usps is elsewhere but in N cal it is consistently bad |

| wow! It's really interesting to see how bands arrive to those in the warm climates. They're so young!! I, of course, won't be getting mine till late May -because of my cold zone-- so they will have a lot more greenhouse aided growth on them by then. (Yours will have the same growth too, just in your yard.) ....when I get mine, they will look like rose plants with leaves and even flowers.... and not sticks in dirt like these. I'm sure it'll all be the same by June- but this is an eye opener. Edited: I was just reading a discussion on the Antique forum about propagating with dormant wood. I wonder if the fact I buy my roses from a much more northern rose propagator meant they started their propagating sooner anyway -because here the first frost comes early.? So, the bands might really slightly be older? .....just wondering...... |

| Brass band has been on my list for a long time. After seeing & drooling over hoovs pic on here it went right to the top of my list! |
|
| My RVR order will be shipped March 4 - cant wait! I have ordered from RVR for several years - their roses always grow well, never any problems with them. I dont expect mine to be all leafed out this time of year - but with spring seeming to be early this year....once I get them potted up, know they will spring into action and start growing. I have quite a few of what you ordered - excellent roses, you will enjoy them! I grew Brass Band several years ago - its one I have coming. I paired it with Singin In The Rain, which I have now. Have fun! |
