Now thats funny!

I see I spelled the name incorrectly it's Speed-Dee.

The truck and driver are missing??? LOL

Speedy Dee is one step up from pony express...lol

Maybe the driver is at his home trying to decide whether or not to plant your roses...lol

There are a lot of taverns between Bloomington and here. Oh my maybe if he plants them he will come here for advice.

Maybe he thought the roses would be worth more in Canada (since you're too far from Mexico to make it practical to cross the border there). I think you should have gone and picked them up.

Recently another GWer shipped me some Kohleria rhizomes. They didn't come...and they didn't come the next week either. When they finally did come, they had sat in the post office of origination (at least according to tracking info) for a week and a half. What gives ? :)

dbarron,

I've had things like that happen with USPS but the package or letter always made it to its location sooner or later...

I just hope you get your roses soon Patty W... Things like this can be stressful on a person...

Yeh, roses found! Seems they forgot to get on the truck. I'm so happy I did not waste any more time in calling. The can't locate the driver and truck I'm sure was just to keep people happy while they find the package. Had I not called they would still have it marked as delivered

Extremely nice roses by the way. Hugh bare root own root roses.

Great!

Forgot to add that they actually brought them to me. Must give credit when credit is due.

Glad you got them! What are the varieties?

I'm glad your rose's got to you in good shape. My order from Edmund's got to me in 3 days. That's my 3rd order from Edmund's over the past several years. I'm very happy with what they send my way. I'll be making another order next year.

I ordered roses that don't attract JB's so that I could add these to the daylily beds. I made lots of room last year so that this could be done. No matter how much I like daylilies and my other plants nothing out shines a rose bush. It's time to get over RRD, JB's, rose midge, thrips and spider mites. On to enjoying the roses.

Glad you finally received your roses. I got my order from Edmund's last Friday and planted all day Saturday. Great day! Btw, this was my first order from Edmund's, but definitely not my last. I have never seen healthier and more vigorous bareroot roses before. Thick healthy canes, almost perfect root systems, evenly spread. They were fun to plant! Can't wait to see them grow...

I just received my order today, but I didn't know they sell rose bands. I thought I ordered 3 bare root roses. The 2 bare root roses were very well packed and looked health. I ordered Pearly Gates and Laguna and Jasmina. Gruss An Aachen Antique rose is on back order. Was it a mistake, they gave me a rose band? It's going to take a long time for Jasmina to climb.

I get band from them also it depends on the rose ordered. I like them thou occasionally they don't do much in the first year as they need to put some roots down. My bareroot own root roses were extremely nice.

Thanks Patty. I like the bare root roses I got, I planted them today. This was my first time ordering from them, when I ordered them I didn't see anything about bands. Thanks for the clarification. I ordered 25+ bands last year, they are still bands. Will get some compost to help them grow.
