I love hearing that. I have had wonderful roses from them so I haven't had to use their customer service. Im glad that tbey were so accommodating.

As I've mentioned before on various threads, Idaho cannot receive any shipments from Edmunds, and this has been the case for at least seven years. So what's up with this--makes me think Edmunds has a problem with disease or plant pests on their plants that they ship. Diane

Diane, I wonder what poor Idaho did to tick off Edmonds?

Just seems weird. Maybe it hsd to do with taxes and tarrifs

I don't think Idaho ticked off Edmunds--more like Edmunds ticked off Idaho. I suspect the Dept of Ag found something on their plants and blacklisted them. Of course, Alaska and Hawaii won't accept anything from them, either, but they pretty much won't let any outside plant material from anywhere into those states. California can be very picky, too. And Oregon. It wasn't long ago when no Butterfly Bushes could be sent to Oregon (invasive, I think). I think the new BB bushes are sterile--not absolutely sure on that. Diane

Sultry: are you referring to Edmunds? IF you are: that response is bad; unacceptable. The first rule of being a middleman is to always take ownership of the problem. Could you please clarify if it is Edmunds you are talking about? If (IF) you are, your report would more than negate the good report from oursteelers. But if you are referring to a different seller, that should be made clear. Thanks.

Yes in Oregon we couldnt get Butterfly bushes for a while and then they reappeared. So they must be sterile.

We have also determined that the Bradford fruitless pear trees that are everywhere are basically garbage trees . Live and learn I guess

Most likely Edmonds did something to get the boot from Idaho.

I always wonder when I see

"Does not ship to . And wonder why

I think it says, "cannot ship" Kristine. I'll check. I think I need to drop the Idaho Ag Dept a note. Diane

Yes, get to the bottom of this mystery, Diane.

Well, Kristine, I fired off a short inquiry to Edmunds' customer service, and I plan to do the same to the Idaho Ag Dept. They better have a good reason for this--heh. One of my favorite roses I got from Edmunds about 2013 or so--my dark purple Twilight Zone. This has been a wonderful rose. Diane

they sell Rouge Royale, also--I haven't seen any other place that carries it! I've been hemming and hawing over that one and Moonlight in Paris.

Oh Aaron, you know that you will end up with both so dont torment yourself, just get the two of them

@Aaron Rosarian Zone 5b Regan nursery has both Rogue Royale and Moonlight in Paris so you can always order bare root roses next year from them. Helen

@Aaron Rosarian Zone 5b: I bought Rogue Royale from Regan. Home Depot has Moonlight in Paris this year ($14.98).

My only complaint after 2 years of ordering from Edmunds, is that you can't state a preferred shipping date. They decide, and have gotten it wrong both years. The roses arrived last week. My ground is still frozen. The roses they sent last year spent a month in a bucket, but have been excellent plants.

Good grief, that's a problem, Flowers. I don't think our soil ever froze, so I never think about that.

As Helen mentioned, you would have to order from Regan next year, Aaron. Regan stops shipping (or taking orders) bare roots in February, I believe. It's pretty early. Diane

Kristine, finally, I'm back with an update on why Edmunds hasn't been able to ship to Idaho for the past seven years. Here's what Customer Service told me: "Check with your county extension office."

So what this really tells me is: 1. They aren't overly concerned that they've lost all Idaho customers for seven years, and 2. They have done something naughty that they don't want to admit to. Oh, well. Diane

That is bizarre and frighteningly vague. Even though they have Rouge Royale I think I'm going to steer clear.

Wow! That was a pretty vague non answer

The equivalent of "Uh, we don't want to tell you."

Yikes.
