@Fire does it not say within 7-10 days?? I too had placed an order with them 3 days ago. So mine will be delivered in spring I guess. Hope they pot it up for me
Last blooms of the season.. these were the blooms on the branches which were not pruned prior to transfer.. Golden Celebration and Royal Jubilee..
That is frustrating @Fire, I wonder whether it is labour or delivery related? I guess I shouldn't expect mine ordered last week for a while then. I hope they don't get dug up and put in a chiller for ages.
My Royal William is totally defoliated but blooming away too @Lizzie27, I agree the red is a gorgeous velvety colour, very visible in the border. I think it is lovely you have this to remember your father, mine died coming up for 6 years ago and it seems so recent still.
@Tack and @cooldoc The person that I spoke to said they will be sent when the roses are "ready in the field". City of York, Ghislaine de Feligonde and Lilac Bouquet (presents) and Flanders for me.
It's not a particularly big issue, but I was trying to be organised in sorting out Christmas presents well ahead of the rush/Royal Mail collapse/Covid & Brexit staff postal squeeze. I'm not going to be super impressed if the roses turn up in Febraury.
..only another 2 months until Spring.. well almost... I regard Feb 1st. as start of gardening Spring in current climate.. anyone else counting the days?..
I like the feb idea too! Mind you im not done with my winter jobs yet, ive still got summer bedding out and bulbs to plant! In the highlands for a few days, passed quite a few roses out still including a very distinctive summer song, gorgeous. Very mild still...
