I think my obsession with roses is temporarily satiated. I think this is the last order I have outstanding. I have approximately 9 that have to go into the ground. This was double delight and blue girl. Ignore the date, I changed batteries again.

| This is the packaging it comes in. Very much like Edmunds. |
 |
| Opening package |
 |
| The canes and roots look good. These were a few dollars cheaper then Edmund's but the packaging was not a filled meaning don't leave it in the box too long. |
 |
| Canes look good and so do the roots. They come unwaxed. The roots are still moist but again, would not leave in box long. |
 |
| Soaked them in Epsom Salt |
 |
| They have a tag when there is more than one, so you know which is which. |
I think I like Edmund's a touch more...at least for the packaging but Edmund's is also more expensive.
Was reading a blog last night about "witches broom" disease and freaked out. I thought one of my climbers had it but it was probably just new growth. Anyway, I read that sevin gets rid of the mite that passes one to another so I sprayed yesterday...I probably overreacted.

Sevin left over from the fall
|
 |
| This is normally what I spray with |

| The 13 year old loves daffodils...her dad bought her gerber daisies last summer which have been in the greenhouse. I planted her some daffodils last fall in the pouring rain for two hours. Glad to see them blooming. We cut these for her. |
 |
| Put area rugs in the brunch area |
 |
| With 75+ roses in this garden, I am good on roses at least for the moment. |
