I am so excited! I couldn't order from Vintage for the longest time recently because shipping and phytosanitary charges were cost-prohibitive on my meager budget. But of course I placed an order this year!

I received big, strapping plants of:

Lybelle (Noack climber)
Cl J Otto Thilow
Cl Dame Edith Helen

and one I've wanted for years: Cl Radiance!

I'm so happy about the size of these plants! And I wisened up and ordered delivery for after our awful spring diseases, which doomed one large Vintage order I had a long time ago [hope those are enjoying rose heaven ;) ].

Any thoughts on any of them would be great! But mostly, I'm just so happy and excited!! :D

WooHoo! a new box of roses. Not familiar with those but I do love Radiance's cupped blooms.

Have fun.

Don't know most of those, but I really do love the Radiance group. Congratulations!

My Vintages arrived Thursday...I crept home from work coming down with crud of some nature....11:30 at night, feeling sorry for myself and ready to hit the bed...and there was a large box in the middle of the living room. It took 15 glorious minutes but I freed all 6 of my bands. I even read the agriculture report certification paper...I was astonished at how big the bands were - my Cl. Gross An Auchen have canes that are thicker than pencils! Wow. I now have a glorious pot ghetto out in in the corner. They look happy already. I have the winter to figure out where to put them all. I'm so glad I ordered from Vintage. Except for my G an A, all were substitutes, but that's ok. I ended up with: Comtesse Emmeline de Guigne Ulrich Brunner Gilbert Nabonnand Souvenir de Madame L'advocat And the 2 Cl. GanA's. :-) I felt better after I opened the box and had rose leaves strewn all over the place. Then I went to bed.

good for you! I too prefer extra fans right now. (Unless there is a special freebie or they let you give choices and they look to your list for the choices). I got an order today too...it's almost like Christmas, isn't it? kay

my Violet Barn order came

I just checked the prices, and I guess $5 is good for a rooted cutting - you could have bought much bigger cuttings for at least that much and sometimes much more but not rooted...of course, when you buy bigger cuttings you can cut them down into smaller sections and plant 2 or 3 per pot, which makes for a fuller plant later. But sometimes, with the hassle of rooting, it is nice to get plants already rooted. I don't buy alot online, and I am not always the smartest shopper- I just paid $35 for 4 small rooted plants in one pot! Some would say I am nuts, but it was a hoya I wanted, it is rooted and growing, and it was worth it to me. I am not sure how Violet Barns rooted plants compare in size to other growers, but I would imagine that the price is on the lower end, and worth it for small plants. so good luck with them, and I also wanted to mention to be patient as far as flowers go, they are not likely to bloom quickly.

Well, I did it because it's contagious! Placed my very early B-day order from Joni; pinkie promise will not order more plants until X-mass! Of course there was no more javanica of any sort left (maybe I will spot one at a big box store)so I comforted myself with LOL a bigger order! Now I just need to tell DH what a great gift he got me! ;) Hoya fitchii f/n/a CMF-8 Hoya sp. East of Thailand SRBR-JSNwf Hoya diversifolia ssp. el-nidicus Hoya pubicalyx 'Pink Silver' Hoya bicknellii Hoya archboldiana 'Jumbo Red' Hoya aff. scortechinii Hoya siamica

I have non-climbing J. Otto Thilow, because this rose has always looked great at the SJHRG, all the time. He's good here on his own roots. Nice, nice rose. And the name sounds like he should be in a T.S. Eliot poem.

Dame Edith Helen is amazingly beautiful. You will need to train her over so she makes laterals and then even trim the long laterals she makes. She can be a very shy bloomer and a vigorous grower.
I have Lybelle on a pillar. It is a nice rose.
I ordered Climbing Radiance too. I imagine it will be lovely.

How really kind of you to help Vintage when it's not the easiest thing for you to do. I don't know any of these roses but sometimes the unknowns can be the most exciting. I had no idea how much I'd love Lady Alice Stanley and Souvenir du President Carnot (both from Vintage), and they even do well in the heat here! I wish you great joy with your roses as they grow and bloom.
