I'll be very interested to know about everyone's experiences with Heirloom. When everyone reports back that every single one of the dozens of bands they ordered from them came in well branched and over 18 inches tall and lived through a whole year without any special care I'll think about it. Maybe. I grew so annoyed trying to grow their not-quite rooted cuttings ten years ago that I swore never again ... even if their roses produced impossibly beautiful blooms on unconditionally healthy plants.
