I uncovered my H-Tea roses up North, and found what I was kinda-sorta expecting, and some I was not.
I pulled three, two I had replanted before I buried them; Now I knew their chances of survival were low in a good year and worse this last winter.
I really did not want them to live and therefore; I am not unhappy.
The third was still green to a point but as it was a duplicate and I do not like Pink roses, I pulled it.
I put in the three Sharon bought, --(the above also means I did not have to enlarge the garden at a time when I have a lot more hard work to do)-- from Sam's Club and after unwrapping them from their brown paper, I am not sure they were such a good price.
One looks a bit iffy but time will tell.
