i bought what was labelled as 'Ispahan' from Aldi a few months ago, it's planted and doing well... but I strongly suspect it's not Ispahan, it has 7 leaves, it is a rose but laybe more like a wild type? I bought one from there last year labelled ' hybrid tea pink favourite' it flowered and looks like rosa canina..hmmm. I didn't learn did I? thought it was too good to be true. Anyone else been foiled?

I do not like yellow and will now have to try to dig them up from amongst the white ones that were already in grrr

    I bought a couple of double pink paeonies from Tesco a few years back and they were not the overblown pale pink delights I expected. They had single dark pink blooms and were rather leggy specimens. Its made me wary of supermarket plants ever since.

    A few years ago bought a apricot tree to put in a pot from Thompson & Morgan turned out that it was a peach they replaced it 3 times every time it was a peach and every time the condition of the plants was getting worse so in the end we asked for our money back which they did with no fuss.
