Hopefully, in a few days seed packets will arrive in local stores.

I bought a bareroot rose at Walmart - $9.99.

I tend to have rather poor luck with bareroot roses, but I’ll get a few anyway.

It’s been very dreary & chilly here in Florida.

Roses... love them!
Got my first David Austin Rose this summer, a light pink variety called Olivia.
Very fragrant and bloomed until November’s hard frosts.

“I tend to have rather poor luck with bare root roses, but I’ll get a few anyway.”

That’s the only way I plant roses - because I’m cheap!

I’m sure you know what you’re doing, but for those that may be planting ‘bare root’ anything this upcoming season, I’ve found that soaking the roots overnight gets them off to a good start. Also, don’t plant them too deep; you want the ‘graft knob’ above ground.
