I see that the shipping rates have increased by $2, but that's not $2 per rose. It just means that I now pay $27.75 for the first 9 roses and $31.75 for 10-19 roses (instead of last year's $25.75 and $29.75). I still can't get over the thrill of being able to order 10 extra roses and pay only $4 more in shipping. If I added 10 roses to an order from Roses Unlimited, I'd have to pay $80 more in shipping.
I have almost finalized my order, but I want to know, Toni, whether you think I would like Quo Vadis. Your photo and Palatine's photo are striking, but Palatine's description says "fresh lemon yellow" and says nothing about the reddish-pink edges. Did all of your blooms show that edge or were some of them solid yellow? I rarely buy yellow or white roses because most of the volunteer plants in my garden are either yellow or white, and I therefore have no need to add those colors to any of the beds.
