same sort of issue but different. (red apples to green ones?) The government is thinking of privatizing certain jobs in the hospitals, like sanitation. Which means the contract will go to their favorite bidder. This may mean a drop in wages for the sanitation workers which may well mean a drop in job satisfaction and thus performance? And where do we REALLY have to be mindful of sanitation? HOSPITALS!! I am fearful of the possible long term effects. Seems you have to PAY people enough to CARE these days. If wages and benefits go down the tubes in an effort to save a buck then they will be hiring anybody with a pulse, they will be so desperate for workers. It will become another 'McJob'. Scary.

I'm glad I read this link. I just ordered it a couple of days ago during their sale. I think I paid around 7 or 8 dollars for it. I love the white/red reverse roses. Seil, maybe this one will be better than our thorney monster, Snowfire! Tammy

For connections between companies I go to GardenWatchdog here for J&P http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/33/ A friend here had two different shipments of J&P roses purchased for her as gifts. Had the friends not asked her about them she probably would have never gotten them. She called to inquire on the first gift order and was told that nothing is available on the computer and that they couldn't tell her anything, if/when or ever her plants would ship. Both gift orders did eventually arrive, with the exact same apology letters for their lateness and an extra rose tossed in for her trouble. At first she was happy to get an extra rose, but with the second shipment getting the exact same treatment she wasn't too happy. I don't know what shape the bare roots were in, but it seems a little late to be shipping bareroots. I can't imagine what person picked the middle of spring shipping to change hands on a nursery business. That decision was obviously called by someone who knows nothing about the nursery business. I hope they can survive and turn things around. For a positive, we received decent wholesale plant material as scheduled last fall, but will not risk it in the foreseeable future.

Those look good! Did you get the price to go below 13.97 for Citrus Splash? I wanted Laura Bush too but it stayed at 17.47 even after entering discount codes. Wayside was the same way...i wanted to order trees, but even with the 40% extra code, it didn't go down any. I tried using the contact us button, but i got an email response saying that address was no good. So, both companies missed out on orders from me. Are you going to grow these indoors through the winter?
