I've been lurking this forum for a few months, and picked up two at Walmart - they were unloading the boxes and I was opening them before they were even stocked on the shelves :) I bought a Camelot and a Mr. Lincoln, not in a body bag but in a biodegradable planter. I took that part off, and planted the roses. Today, my Camelot opened!!!! This is my new camera, too :)

| Congratulations, Christy! I've been unsuccessfully trying to get a Camelot for about 6 years now, lol! Every one I've bought has been mis-labeled but yours looks like the real thing. You absolutely did the right thing by taking the peat pot off to plant. I know they say they are biodegradable but they take decades to do so. In the mean time you have a very root bound rose that will eventually fail. You and your new camera took some great photos too! |

| Beautiful rose! |

| Congratulations, Christy! Now, learn to propagate, root a Camelot for Seil and get more in trade for you to root and create your rose garden with. It's a whole lot more fun to propagate your own bushes (from unpatented material, of course!) than having to wait and buy what the local stores sell. It opens some tremendous doors to grow some pretty amazing roses! Kim |

| Thanks!!!! I am thrilled with it :) A second bloom opened yesterday. This one was knocked over by a very heavy thunderstorm so I cut it off and it is right next to my kitchen sink, beautiful!! My Mr. Lincoln looks like it'll bloom by next week, I'm so excited!!! I would love to learn how to propagate to share. I've done African Violets and Jades, I'm sure I can handle a rose!! Here are pics of the overall plant :) Christy Camelot  Mr. Lincoln  |
