I bought mine from the same vendor. Hmm...dang it. It is a beautiful rose, but not worth putting up with the mess to get
maybe one relatively decent flower a year from it. Maybe I will discard this one and try from another vendor--really want to have this one because of the name.
Not going with Wayside, as they have the same company ownership as J&P. Looks like Edmunds and Jung have it...thank you, Margie. Be interested to see what yours does this year.
