Cindi, you just reminded me of my last transaction with J&P. I ordered Tropical Sun and four other roses from J&P back in September 2011 and was told they would be sent to me before the end of October. After many reminders from me by e-mail and telephone, they finally sent them to me in March 2012. This is how they looked when I unpacked the box. Needless to say, they didn't make it.
