I believe new subscribers can avail both offers on the special sale. Terry: Additional discounts do not apply to the current sale. The EuroDesert newsletter states, "Please Note: Other discounts we offer will not apply to this offer. We will adjust your invoice after your order is placed to reflect this special discount. Thank you for your understanding." I bought five roses from EuroDesert last year. I may purchase these too. I'm thinking of a way to justify rose purchases when there are 50 still in pots. :) We'll see...

Thanks for posting. I was hoping to make it back to Cliff's this spring but I can't now. It will be spectacular!!

No matter what climate zone you're in, if landscaping enters into your DIY schedule this year, polyanthas are the way to go! The class originated in Northern Europe as bedding roses for parks and along roadways. Modern "ground cover" and landscape roses pretty much are polyanthas. Poulsen's "Towne & Country" series are all polys. Flower Carpet roses are mini repeat flowering ramblers used as polys. Nothing you could plant for mass effect can out perform polys and you're not going to find such an amazing selection of these roses as is assembled in EuroDesert's sale. Plant them as borders for walks, drives, along retaining walls, fences, property boundaries. Potting them in sufficiently sized pots of the proper type will give you all summer color with very little required of you. Remember, floribundas were originally "Hybrid Polyanthas". Iceberg IS a hybrid polyantha, so think of using these as you would an Iceberg or one of the Knock Out or Flower Carpet roses, only without paying royalties on the plant nor planting the same thing your local gas station has. You pretty much can't go wrong with any you choose. I'm happy to see he has two of my seedlings, Lauren and Too Cute. Kim
