I've grown both too, and Fairy met Mr. Shovel after a couple of seasons. I didn't care for the small blooms of LF either, was just not a pretty enough rose to warrant the real estate in my opinion. On the other hand, I dug up my multitude of azaleas (gorgeous for 12 minutes a year and ugly bushes the remainder) and replaced them with 20 double red knockouts. Now THAT was an excellent decision if I do say so myself. The double knockouts are a more compact bush than the singles, so if you want 3X3, go with the doubles. The regular knockouts get much bigger no matter how severely you prune them. My singles, though I do love them, are more like 5X3.

You're not going to find it much cheaper than that. Like chervil2 said, postage is going to be expensive. It will probably cost at least $5 to ship a bag. You can try your local Craigslist in the farm and garden section and look for people who have nursery and see if they would be willing to sell you a handful instead of a whole bag. I bought my small bag for about $5 at Home Depot. I did not use it all, so if you just need a little bit, I can send you handful in a bubble envelope for about 4 stamps if you like. (I have the envelope). Hope this helps!
