Write them a letter! When I don't like things, I write letters. I heard once that one letter to a company--this may have been TV shows, etc.---is equivalent to thousands of responses. Many people may THINK they're steamed about something, but won't write---your one little letter is speaking for the silent ones. Usually, on the pkgs. there is a company name and possibly an address----or a least an email address. I don't know if I would settle for just sending an email. They can be deleted so easily. I understand your irritation. It's cold here, too---like 4 degrees. I'm looking out at the little birdies eating the seed/bell thingy. I put it at a spot where I can enjoy the little creatures. Very relaxing and educational.

My hubby sent me a beautiful bunch of chocolate roses, I cannot remember their name but they are a greenhouse grown rose. I was passing the florist whom happened to be a rose nursery as well to thank her for the beautiful bunch and I fell in love with this potted rose "Silk Hat" and since then I have been hooked on growing them and my husband now says he doesn't have to buy me anymore roses : ) Silk Hat is still one of my favourite roses. Saintin, come along to the SE Qld catch up at New Farm Park on Sun 4th Sept. You will get to meet rosies whom have a couple of months of being hooked to some whom have years. You will find out the winning roses for our climate as well. Lots of laughs with people who really understand your love of roses. If you need a lift let us know - look at the post catch up for SE QLD rosies. Cheers, Brissy

I still grow Paul's Scarlet, even though it's a BS magnet. My dad's name wasn't Paul, but it was the rose I bought for him when I was 13 because he wanted a "red rose". I've had one in every garden since. I grow Isabella Sprunt because my grandmother's name was Isabelle. It also just happens to be one of my hardiest true teas (yay!). I grow several roses just because my mom happened to say she liked them, Blue For You being the latest. John
