We have a local Costco that actually has a big greenhouse nursery. One year they were loaded with flats of Ping Lim roses. True Serenity , the hot pink, was probably my favorite for great fragrance, form, petal count.

Enjoying the True Serenity rose Markay and all the background plants... :-) Yellow Submarine looks good too!

True Serenity gossiping with Peter Mayle, I adore her ruffles!

Thanks for the heads-up! I've been sort of on and off looking at this place's website since I first heard about them a couple of years ago. I understand that they're in Oklahoma, which has cold winters, and I've read good things about them. I'm not thrilled with their statement "The Presale of Spring 2027 roses will go live the first week of October. These roses will ship to me from Canada and the West Coast in March of 2027. They will ship to you shortly after arrival, warmest zones first.". Only because she's getting the bare roots from her suppliers in March, and then she needs to ship them out... not great for warmer zone folks. I'd love to know from where she's purchasing her bare roots, so I could buy them directly in a more timely manner for my zone. I assume the Canadian growers are either Hortico or that new place that Palatine recommended, whose name I can't remember :-D

Only thing I have in bloom is my Hopi Crape Myrtle and my Little Gem Southern Magnolia.

I do not! I just let them do their thing

All my Dahlias are seed grown.

We got the pot as a gift from our DIL, before it was growing so sort of a surprise package.

There was one glad that got one bloom but this dahlia overwhelmed everything else in the pot.

The yellow viny thing above was a small plant I purchased at a nursery and planted it.

:-)

Those are so pretty @Markay MD-Zone 7B...actually gorgeous.

Given that they are in bloom from April implies the plants overwintered (rather than from self seeding)?

Those are gorgeous, Markay!

Three BerryBux blueberry bushes.

Last night I planted Clematis durandii behind the Peony Sorbet I has put in the day before.

In the previous day in another redo bed I also planted a Clematis Multi Blue that I moved from too much shade. Then added a Peony Catherine Fontaine along with 3 each of Pycnanthemum virginianum, Stachys o. Rosea, Achillea p. The Pearl, Penstemon hirsutus & Linum perenne. So happy to have this done.

A whole bunch of native perennial plugs plus 6 native small-ish shrubs (2 Kalmia latifolia, 2 Ceanothus americanus and 2 Itea virginica). It is all for the front yard. Can't wait for spring even though the drought has been hard on some of the shrubs despite watering.

I would like to report Heirloom Roses has already sent me a confirmation for the replacement of all 5 roses. I am glad they did. I have been a loyal customer ordering roses every single year for 10 years and I feel like they did the right thing when I needed them. I will not be purchasing any other roses with this new method. I normally reuse my plastic pots anyway.
