Hey Carol, I got it from Hortico, so you should be able to find it up there! For me it reaches a good 5ft. It's rare to get a really good looking bloom. It gets thrips (I haven't sprayed in nearly 10yrs) and the blooms also often ball and won't open up even in my warm temps. I don't think I've ever checked fragrance. I like it, but it's not the best rose. I think if I can get around to doing some spraying this season, it might do better.

Last week I received 2 roses (DAs "Crocus Rose" and "White Pearl in a Red Dragon's Mouth") from Ashdown Roses. I got an email that they were on sale. They were in excellent shape, and the Dragon's mouth rose has 3 new buds on it. I also received (DAs "Christopher Marlowe") from Jung Seeds a week or so ago, also. It, too was in excellent condition. I would definitely order from either place again. Ashdown's sent me an email that they were delaying shipment until the weather cooled a little....and then the rose arrived as was promised. I am sorry you had a bad experience with J&P....however, you are not the first person I've heard that's unhappy with them. Hope you can get a response from them, or either your money back. Michelle ps...I'm not the Michelle with the adult beverage and the credit card mentioned above ..lol (*.*)

Carol, that Julio is glorious! I've wondered - do you take advantage of mobile roses by rearranging them now and then, or do you have dedicated spots for each? I'd redecorate all the time I think! :) That's May Night salvia with the Julia - it varies between deep purple and blue and is lovely. It can get a bit floppy with the amount of water that roses like, but I find that's easily controlled with frequent haircuts, which have the added benefit of encouraging rebloom.

Jmorris, I empathize with your frustration. Call again, note how many roses are unacceptable, ask specifically for replacement or refund (your choice). Get the full name of the representative to whom you speak. Any problems, state you'll be taking it up with your credit card company & open a complaint with your card company, which will reverse the charges. Sounds like an exciting project you've undertaken! J & P is now only the shadow of the sound company it was. I'd ask for a refund credited to original method of purchase (not J & P credit voucher for future purchases) & find the roses elsewhere. In a few more weeks you'll likely find them in bud & bloom locally.

Need opinions on this J&P test rose... is it Sugar Plum?
Q
Comments (10)
Ok, I went out and took a whiff! It's been a long time since I've smelled a sweet pea, but the scent sorta reminds me of what I remember sweet peas smelling like. Definitely not a "tea" scent or "myrrh" or citrusy. Maybe it is SUGAR PLUM! Those two blooms have already blow quite a bit, but they haven't fried yet. Very lovely rose. I can't imagine them not intro'ing it. But then, one of the others from that batch is a gorgeous creamy yellow with red edge, and I know they never marketed it.

Thanks for the info, Beth. I guess I'll pass since it gets thrips and balls. I hate it when blooms ball - what a waste! :)

I was "oohing & aahing" about your Grey rose, until I saw the others. Outstanding, thank you, for killing the winter blues.
