I received an add for an outfit called Richard Owens Nursery/Exciting Gardens. It is not well liked at Dave's Garden is not the sort of place I would order from. It seems to be an outlet for nursery trade overstocks.

It is offering some Brownell roses which seem to be otherw ise virtually unavailable.

Rhode Island Red
and ten "sub-zero" HTs. I understand they are not really hardy past zone 5, but I might be able to grow them. I imagine they are grafted onto Dr. H.

They offer Maria Stern, Helen Hayes, Victory (the same rose Vintage calls V for Victory), Curly Pink,Charlotte Brownell (improved Peace for colder climates), Arctic Flame, Queen O. the Lakes, Lily Pons, Senior Prom, Dr. Brownell.

Prices are quite low, $5.99 for the sub-zeros, and $6.99 for RIR.

Is it worth taking a chance on this outfit? I was particularly interested in Arctic Flame and Rhode Is. Red.
