I had planned doing the established roses first before featuring the bare roots I planted. But I had to mention this one. I thought Ebb Tide was a goner...I even posted I thought it was dead.
In the post Is My Bare Root Dead? But it lived. I got the plant from Edmund's.
It looked extremely healthy which tells me that it was probably my doing that it didn't start out well. I have lost three bare roots. One was a surprise. Two were from Dollar General that were left over and half dead, however, in defense of DG. The rest lived. The other one was JFK. I, also, saw a JFK in the trash bin at the co-op which suggests they may not do well as bare roots. I bought my JFK from Lowe's and in defense of Lowe's approximately 80% of the bare roots I purchased this year was from Lowe's.
Anyway, she seems to being doing okay now.
A lot of her canes don't look well and I will probably cut them off.
