farmerduckUpdated Also, I think that some of the DA potted roses are actually own roots. As far as I can tell, the latest (and last, I hope) DA potted rose I got is own root.

Melissa Mc (6b)Updated Thanks guys but I let hubby pick this one since he picked the 4th of July that didn't make it. I chose Purple Splash and it was on sale and Roses Unlimited. Also replaced my Marilyn Monroe, which didn't make it either.
