| I was running some errands and Lowe's was in the area. So I decided to see what they had in the bareroot roses. I went to the garden section only I couldn't find them. HD didn't have very many so I just thought they hadn't got them yet. Well, I found them as I was leaving. They were in the main entrance just as dead as dead could be. Okay maybe 75 to 80% of them were dead. The one time I wish I had a smartphone so I could have taken a picture. I couldn't believe it because they usually do a great job when it comes to their plants. So disappointed. |

| Like you said, I also don't recall seeing the bare root roses recently. They are now having more and more potted roses. So it's probably been a while for those bare roots, and seeing that condition wouldn't surprise me actually. Many of these plants (and even bagged roots) should go fast....if not, they all stand to be dead or too weak to even desirable at clearance prices. |

| I've hit both Lowes and HD here and haven't seen any yet. The only place I saw them was Big Lots and I won't buy those anymore. They were a heaped up pile of dead sticks. I don't think I saw one single green shoot. K mart has had some potted ones advertised in the Sunday paper but I went and couldn't find them. Maybe they just didn't get them in up this far north yet. I think I'll wait until the nurseries get theirs in and just spend the extra bucks for the better plants. I'm not looking to buy a ton of new ones anyway. |
