| Wooo hoo. My babies are rolling in for my lawn replacement project. I just received these mainly huge bands from RVR. In the picture are. Nastarana Distant Drums Savoy Hotel x2 Golden Buddha Hoag House Cream I was supposed to receive Robin Hood as a free rose, but got two Savoys instead. They have great customer service so no doubt they will fix this. Just wanted to show the huge bands. Distant Drums is a little small. But I'm learning that due to demand most favorites normally arrive little due to growers trying to meet demands. Also when I was new to rose growing I had no idea what a " band" looked like. Hopefully this will delight and help someone. The huge pink rose is on one of the Savoys. I dont like to disbud neither do I like to pluck off the roses. My bands still thrive. |

| These really are a good size and that flower is huge! The only one of your group that I have is Hoag House Cream and so far it's been a trooper in the heat. I wish you great luck with your bunch. Of course we'll expect pictures later. Ingrid |

| Ooo, nice picks! I saw that the Fall Restock included Hoag House Cream and almost pulled the trigger myself! It looks like it could be a terrific rose. I'm a big fan of Paul Barden's roses, but I haven't tried Golden Buddah yet. Distant Drums is a favorite of both mine and my mom. My mom has several grafted plants that do very well for her. I hope it fares well own-root for you! I did happen to order a Yolande d'Aragon. It is one of the relatively few HP/Portland roses I've heard should do well in my area and does best splayed/fanned out against a wall which is my intention. I gave myself a little time before deciding upon what has to be shipped along with it, but tentatively a replacement Mme. Berard (Adam). I have yet to fill in the spot formerly occupied by Adam. Whichever between Gloire de Dijon (from High Country) or Mme. Berard performs better will get the spot and the other will go on an arbor at my parents' home. At least that is my current plan, but things always change. Jay |
