I had several turn out totally different than the picture on the bag. They are pretty now, and going on four years old. I would love to see how the original poster's roses are doing from DG and want to see pictures!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027020251152334141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411238003145216727.post-55207766958496552642016-03-28T06:26:55.818-05:002016-03-28T06:26:55.818-05:00What are updates to the original post?

I could not resist rescuing 10 pitiful bare root roses at a discount store ($3.50-4.99). I should know better... my past experience was that the roses were mislabeled, which explains the price. I planted them in pots. All 10 of them are growing beautifully above the graft line. This time I'd like to see what their blooms look like before planting them in the garden.

Phooey, it's Dr. Huey!" <br /><br />That was the story of my climbing Queen Elizabeth. I'm still letting Dr. Huey lean against the grape arbor post.
