| Does anyone know where I can buy Romatica roses online? It seems Regan's has stopped shipping bare root roses. Has anyone ordered from Smithnursery.com before? They have a lot of Romaticas but I can't find any reviews on this nursery.
I see Roses Unlimited also sell them, but I'll wait to see if I can find a source with more reasonable shipping and handling costs.
The varieties I would like to order are Yves Piaget and Liv Tyler.
Thanks,
Dar |

| My local Armstrong's usually always has Yves. Liv--I got mine from Edmunds. I don't know if I would recommend it. Flowers are gorgeous, but a weak plant, very prone to Rust. |

| Roses Unlimited sends gorgeous healthy own root plants that will last forever. I've never failed with them. Kristi |

Edmunds sold Liv Tyler last year.
Seems I recall it now goes by a different name.
Have you tried searching it in Help Me Find? |

Thanks all for the help. I'll check them all out.
I hope that Armstrongs will special order it for me if they dont have it in stock here. Are Romanticas supplied through Weeks or another rose wholesaler? |

| I purchased Bolero and Lunar Mist from Regans last fall. Both had tags from Star Roses. |

| This is an interesting post to me for several reasons. I used to grow Yves for many years. I really liked it. What a show stopper in bloom. I had to remove Yves for reasons not its fault and have thought over the years about replacing it if a new spot came up. What a surprise to see how few places carry it now. I can't see Yves on its own roots (RU). Vigor was acceptable grafted, but not overwhelming. I'd give it a try however if that's all I could get, it was that good a rose for me....Also, I've never heard of Smith Nursery Company (it's in California). It's listed with Daves but with no reviews. Those prices ($10.00) are a little too good for a number 1 grade rose. I'd call them to see how they sounded before I'd order from them.....Good luck on your search...Maryl |

| Another vote for Roses Unlimited. Their roses are excellent and they are very honorable folk. I share your chagrin at shipping prices, but it's kinds nice to see the agony going the other direction. I have to buy so many from CA, OR & TX. |

| I got my Yves Piaget at the local nursery. (In Santa Barbara) I know they buy from Weeks but not sure who else |

| I just planted Liv (aka Comtesse de Provence) from RU this past week. Received 4 healthy-looking plants from them this season. |

| I found Yves Piaget at the Armstrong in Claremont. All of the Yves bushes are covered in powdery mildew; it was shocking. YET, all the other roses there were ultra healthy-looking. What a disappointment. Call me crazy, but I bought it anyways. Those buds were just too beautiful (to me). I thought it was a little funny that just as I got there, I overheard a gentleman had asking for assistance to find the Yves Piaget bushes. At least I wasn't the only crazy person at Armstrongs that day. |

| All of plants from SmithNursery.Com arrived dead. No refund. Just a promise they would send me replacemens in the Fall. Don't buy from them! Scam alert. They ship out of Tennessee where some other disreputable nurseries are located |
