It looked awful, just like the roses in the pics did. Today it is wonderful! And for only 3 dollars. Last year I found 'peace' rose and got it, but it died before I could even plant it out. I think for the price they're worth a try, after a knowledgeable inspection at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-34404701853829632072011-03-10T17:58:13.729-05:002011-03-10T17:58:13.729-05:00I'M with you sister,in the end when you buy cr...I'M with you sister,in the end when you buy crap don't expect a rose to come out of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-62353122135034587022011-03-10T11:20:36.207-05:002011-03-10T11:20:36.207-05:00Thanks for the info on bare root roses.

I try to avoid the bags - I would have picked up Reine. I once saw someone buying a bag rose that was bent over, obviously separated from it's roots and I said that it didn't look good and I wouldn't buy it. They knew nothing of roses yet they were certain they would have success! Live and learn.
