I’m a bit grumpy today. I was expecting a rose delivery from RV Rogers. The website said it might take about 4 weeks for dispatch… However, due to unforeseen circumstances , I’ve decided to cancel the rose order. I’ve written to them yesterday and this morning I’ve got an email saying that the roses have been delivered on the 16th of January. I promptly replied that they haven’t and I haven’t received any dispatch notification either. They wrote back with a delivery confirmation and a tracking number from Royal Mail. Anxiously, I’ve typed in the tracking code to see if there’s a photo of the parcel being delivered. Yes, there is! It was delivered to a ‘safe place’ - the recycling bin! 😡 Obviously, there was no card in the door saying it’s been delivered. Unfortunately, we also had a bin collection that week, so it’s gone… I’ve written to Royal Mail, but I don’t think there’s anything that can be done.
How totally infuriating pitter-patter. RV Roger is a good rose seller so I hope they sort it for you. I'm surprised at Royal Mail though. Here I'm relieved if they are the stated courier, in fact anyone other than the dreadful Evri who are bad enough I won't order if they are used. Twice now our parcels have been left on our road in the general area of the postcode. Our neighbourhood Whatsapp is all about looking and trying to correctly rehome the soggy item left on our pavementless road.
I will not order another overhyped new DA release, well, unless it is a strongly fragranced dark one of course.
@Nollie isn't Versigny a bit, er, pink and apricot/coral for you? I think it looks very lovely though, like Dames de C.
Thank you. To be honest, it’s the least of my worries. I‘m going through a hard time and I might be losing my garden and home by the end of the summer. It’s been a beautiful dream while it lasted…
Depends what the new one(s?) Is, not really interested in more yellow or plain pinks or awful names. Limited space too, gotta be special! I got last years BMSS as a cheer up as Id promised myself if it was one I liked id get it. Some smouldery dark colour, ideally with a good fragrance that behaves like Lady of Shallott (prolific, easy to train, long lasting, stunning tones, deep english rose cupped blooms) though, I'll be first in the queue!
Sending you love and strength, @pitter-patter. You have created something so exceptionally beautiful in your garden. If the worst happened and you had to begin again, you could in time create something just as incredible.
