John, as you're planning to buy 30 trees, you're entitled to a jumbo price break that you may have difficulty receiving from some of the nurseries. Cummins Nursery will treat you very fairly in this regard, and they send out first rate trees from a dandy selection of root stocks and scions. They're knowledgeable and will answer all your questions via email. Good luck. Misterbaby.

Read my last post. That's where I bought the bare root roses. 6 of them. I ordered on Friday 4/10 , I didn't get a ship email until 4/15, they claim 72 hours shipping. Not count counting weekends or the day I ordered it was 72 hours. They ship by USPS parcel post the slowest way. I got the order on 4/22. This is a big problem, although the paper the roses were loosely wrapped in was still damp, it also had plastic over the newspaper. I emailed them 4/20 at info@summerstonenursery.com I also filled out a online cust service request on their web site. The emails bounced, but I got an answer 4/24 from the online request. I also tried to call them 4/21, 4/22. 4/21 I got rings and no pickup or answering machine. On 4/22 I got busy all day. So I would rate customer service 1 out of 10. The roots looks pretty developed but the cain's were very short and mostly brown. If the roses live, I cant complain about the product. If you can get better shipping like first class it would be a big improvement. I also did some internet checking and found my order was typical, hit or miss.

Oops! Never mind. I looked them up on the Garden Watchdog. The ratings were dismal. I noticed that Chamblees had the highest ratings, and their roses were about the same price! That tells me a lot.

I'm mostly looking for something that will be a good rose for my zone/area... and just be an awesome rose I will probably be planting it by a 4 foot high fence or along a wall I guess I'm just looking for people to tell me what roses they like/don't like & why.. or recommendations!
