Shame on you, John, the enabler, lol!

Thanks John! Will take a look.

Just got 4 DAs: The Pilgrim, Claire Austin, Princess Anne and Tranquillity. Total with shipping $57.87! :-)

Thanks again!

I ordered 2 Belinda's Dreams this morning. Good deals! Thanks again

I just wish I could take advantage of the sale. It's wayyyyy too late to plant bareroots here, lol. I figured some of you guys and gals deserved a good deal after last winter.

John

Thanks John, you have done a good deed! :-) I also told my friends at work!

Wayside Garden website 10% off code: FABWG

I too took advantage of the sale and got two roses: The Pilgrim and Princess Anne. Thank you, John.

Turning into a roseaholic. Ordered 3 more with one of my friends from work: The Pilgrim, Queen of Sweden and Molineux. Belinda's Dreams has been sold out today, glad ordered 2 yesterday. Thanks again

it figures, I just got a shipment from them. one of which is a bare root iceberg floribunda. Which is why I am visiting this forum. . . I have ???"s. . . follow me over to a different thread and maybe you can help me out. . .

Joopster, Thanks for the 10% off code, it helped. :-)

Receiving my first order today- 4 DAs. Will post a photo tonight when I get home from work.

I can't wait to see your DAs bareroot pics, summersrhythm. I'm curious how big they are. I'm hesitate to order from them. The ones I got directly from DA were huge.

That's some great looking roses! May they grow and flourish!

John

Many thanks John! :-)

Wow now I'm really glad I ordered some. They come in today! Can't wait.

Just a heads up, it looks like they added a couple of other David Austin roses to the sale and lowered the price on others. I just received mine yesterday and they are HUGE compared to other bare roots I've received from David Austin, Breck's, and Edmunds.

Oh Charlene! My bareroot of Clair Austin they sent was by far the biggest bare root I've ever seen! Now I'm tempted to get more.

I ordered 4 more.......after I told myself many times- no more. They sold out Berlinda's Dreams , I ordered too late, I needed 2 roses to plant at base of 2 rose trees, so I ordered 2 Carding Mills......then 1 Alnwick and 1 Heathcliff. I needed 2, but somehow I ordered more. :-)

I couldn't resist, they're just too good looking. I just had to buy some, but they aren't for me, lol. I'm sending them north to my aunt...

John

I could not resist either and placed a second order. I will pot them up and put them in the shade. I got another Tranquility, Molineux, and Alnwick.

I really want Alnwick. I'm trying to resist. Lol

Just ordered 6 Tranquillity roses, they're cold hardy for my zone, I think they'd look classic be the base roses for some of my Polar Joy rose trees. :-)

SoFL, Did you get your Alnwick? It might run out soon. For that price, it's cheaper than a KO. :-)

John, Your aunt will be so happy to open the package! :-)

Summersrhythm, my aunt was the one who got me started with roses almost 35 years ago, by giving me rooted cuttings from my Grandmother's New Dawn and City of York. She still gardens, and gets around better than I do, lol. I figured she deserved some payback ;)

john

I don't know what I'm doing, I ordered 6 different roses. Queen of Swede, Princess Anne, Claire Austin, Alnwick, and Tranquility.

I plan to pot them up and plant in the ground this fall.

John, You're very lucky to have a nice aunt! I wish I have an aunt like yours.

I'm going to be waiting for reports from all of you on how those Tranquilitys do!

Seil, will do.

I received an email from Wayside Gardens this morning........"70% sale ends tonight".

I think the sale is still on. My rose friend at work wanted to order more DAs, and she asked me if I wanted to order with her........so I put down 3. Lol

There is only one DA left on sale-Tranquillity for $8.69.

Resurrecting this old post because my phone can't find the other post:

What's the status of your Wayside rose purchases?

ALL I BOUGHT HAVE A SLIGHT MYRRH SCENT

Queen of Sweden,precious pink but don't have pics on this phone, upright bloom but takes forever to show any growth, 2 to 2.5 inches, pretty upright bush (one flush so far, about 6 blooms?)

THE Pilgrim pretty pale yellow pompom, plant is growing arms is maybe trying to be a climber? 2 inches, tons of petals but bud and full bloom within a day, last photo as color contrast with Heirloom Rose's Happy Child bright yellow (first flush just yesterday 5 expected blooms)

Overall --- not sure my Claire Austin will be good as of now only three main canes, several main canes were damaged and had canker, severe die back

Tranquility is a quality rose and a winner for me

Queen of Sweden and Pilgrim have weird growth habit, jury is still out

LOOKING FORWARD TO OTHERS PICS AND OPINIONS ON THEIR PURCHASES!

I bought 6 roses from the sale: Princess Anne, Queen of Sweden, Alnwick Rose, the Pilgrim, Molineux, and Tranquillity. They all leafed out and gave me blooms here and there. Most blooming have been QoS and Molineux. Least blooming (had about 3 blooms since planted) were Princess Anne and the Pilgrim. In spite of this, I am happy with my purchases because they all grow, unlike J&P which were all dead. I will add the photos later.

I ordered about 20 DAs from this sale, yes, a pile of roses indeed. :-) Only 1 Tranquillity went bad, I got a store credit from them. I have The Pilgrim, Clair Austin, Princess Anne, Tranquillity, Queen of Sweden, Molineux, Carding Mills, Alnwick, Heathcliff. A lot of them had midge damage haven't bloomed yet, I just treated them a few days ago, already have new growth coming out, I had a few Tranquillity, Molieux and Carding Mills, Queen of Sweden bloomed so far, some are in bloom right now. I will take some photos after work today.

Here's my Queen of Sweden's only flush:

My QofS is such a stingy bloomer. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it never blooms. :(

Here are pics of my purchases taken today:

Tall on the left is QoS, Alnwick Rose is the short one on right

Left is Tranquility, right is Molineux

Princess Anne remains short but is developing some buds

Here is the Pilgrim growing tall having only one bud. (3 flowers all season long)

Yours look very good, msdorkgirl. They appear green and healthy. With the Austins, perhaps they need to be established before they bloom.

I only have 3 of them in bloom right now.......Carding Mills, Queen of Sweden and Tranquillity.

My QOS did nothing, no new shoots for what seemed like weeks after its first flush but just this week there is some new shoots coming from the cut ends. So it's a slow grower for me too.

Oh that carding mills is gorgeous. Your blooms look much larger than mine, Summer.

Thanks. I am a lazy hole digger, I dug good enough holes ( not good enough for 99% gardeners here), planted the roses then buy bags of pot mix from Lowe's to pile around roses, I think they love the pot mix. I could be wrong. :-)

I have one QoS I budded on to Fortuniana and its growing rather slow. I also have one growing on its own roots to see if either fare better than my Dr.H grafted one that hasn't done anything. I just sent out a new basal cane (that would make 4 total) but no blooms. Its been in the ground for over a year (and I grew it in a pot for a year before that). I'm about to take it out of the ground and put it back in its pot since it grew much better in a pot (as all Dr. H roses do here), but I'm hoping my other two "experiments" do better as I really like this rose and she had very good disease resistance.
