J&P roses-Know the latest?
Comments (7)Boo hoo. I went back to Lowes to see if they had finally uncovered the pallets of J&P roses, and checked the boxes for the label. Nope. Must have been wishful thinking on my part. I was really looking forward to buying Billy Graham and Disneyland Rose, but NONE of the boxes had any indication of own root or New Generation, and I could see grafts on most. Their marketing backfired. I bought many of the New Generation roses, and they did so well for me that I won't buy their grafted ones. I'm wondering if roses like Lemon Zest, which is a shrub rose, is own-root and they just didn't label it? What are their marketing people thinking? Prices were high, too. 16.98 for the smallish box. I'm hoping they get in newer varieties in pots later, because I'm not buying from this shipment....See MoreJ&P 2007 Hybrid Tea Test Rose Panel
Comments (2)Hey John! Where did you hear that the mauve one was going to be rose of the yr next yr? I only got a couple of blooms on mine, but they were nice. Actually all 4 of them only gave me a few blooms each. The yellow one, SOUTHERN BELLE was the best for me. I wasn't all that impressed with APRIL IN PARIS, but really, it's hard to judge any of them or any rose in one season. That's why the test panel, to me, seems almost ludicrous. It's just kinda nice to get the roses cheaper is all. LOL But I have to admit, that new batch looks wonderful. Mine are already potted up and starting to sprout! You know of course, that I would be most interested in the striped one! And that orange... wow! I can't wait to see them bloom, and to compare notes with you! Come on spring!...See MoreJ&P Test Roses--Long reading!!
Comments (9)I"m doing the test panel this year. They ran out of the bi-colored rose before they sent this far north so I'm getting a non-test surprise instead. I do have Jacelvet, Jacdrama, and Jacsammy and so far they seem to be waking up pretty uniformly, but barely waking up. I was a little disappointed since the one I was looking most forward to was the bi-color they're out of. Thanks for the heads up on "april in paris" it was a rose I had been contemplating on getting....See MoreJ&P Sale roses - shipping March 2008???
Comments (14)My dad loves the idea, teka2rjleffel [he's a turnaround consultant]... sell lots of product and use a year's worth of sales to come up with some actual inventory ;] Ah but if I knew I was reserving them for this price I would have this time. Brandy, good gripe! I enjoyed it :) Buford, you know I didn't look, it's true. Hey, it must've been small print - I swear it said just 1st ship date. Sneaky! I had seen posts that J&P was sold. We'll see how that changes things, I guess. This is a good test order for me, not too big. I've liked them as a vendor previously and would miss a small rose fix from them each year or two!...See MoreRelated Professionals
