Congratulations on starting a business, hope it goes well for you! The roses are stunning, I agree with Kristine about the t-shirt image. Even rounding the corners of the image would soften the appearance and make the overall effect more flattering to the body shape of the wearer.

Do you have a profile on HMF listing the roses in your garden? If people can see a list of them all they could ask for rootings as you mentioned wanting to get into selling those too.

Best wishes 👍

@joeywyomingzone4 I do have have a profile on HMF with a list of roses currently in my yard. thank you for the suggestion

Is your HMF profile linked to your blog? I tried searching for you but without knowing what your HMF username is, it's hard to know what you might have available.

@joeywyomingzone4 no, it isn't linked. I will have to look at getting that linked. in the mean time my username on HMF is bgarner

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw and @joeywyomingzone4, i am looking at incorporating your suggestions into the t-shirt, so thank you for your suggestions

I think it's a little hard to read the lettering on some of the products.

@Mischievous Magpie (CO 5b) is it the font type, the color, size, all of the above, that make it hard? Because I know what it is supposed to say I can see it without a problem so I really don't know the answer.

I think the sizing is fine. I think the teal color is hard to see against the green leaves, and the white is a bit better but maybe if the font was a bit bolder it would be easier to read. Just my opinion of course, but I think some of this stuff is pretty cute! Do you know anyone who does graphic design stuff?

Maybe if you sold cuttings, whenever you shipped a cutting in the mail you could send along a tiny favor that has some of your design on it, like a cute sticker. Something inexpensive to you that would nudge people to look at your other merchandise?

I really like the hoody...but it's hard to read the words against the pansies. Plus, it would be great if you could have a bigger variety of roses. I'd probably buy a few things if there were pink roses or red. :) I hope this works out for you!

Good luck with your rosey entrepeneurial project, Brandon! Carol

I just did this design. I like it, but do y'all mind telling me what you think please?

This is just me, but I would only buy a t-shirt if it had a bit longer sleeves (couple of inches more). So you should do market research??? about what your main audience is. For example, I'm thinking (though not certain) that older people like me (58) usually like longer sleeves. But if your target audience is younger...then the sleeve length is probably fine.

Another thing...being a gardener...I hardly ever buy anything white, because I tend to get dirty. Again...it depends on your target audience...younger people like my daughters really like white....but then they don't garden.

What do you mean by "give room for potential."???

The rose is beautiful and more in line with what I would buy. I would buy that rose on a hoody (not white) or on a t-shirt with a bit longer sleeves and not white.

I hope that helps.

I wonder what others think.

I think that it is much better. I agree that I would like it in black as well.

Good job!!

A feature where you can choose between a few different roses would be cool.

Yes, I totally agree with @Kristine LeGault 8a pnw !

It would be very cool to be able to have a selection of a few popular roses to choose from so people can wear their faves.

it is now available in black. also to answer the question of what does give room for potential mean, I initially meant it to imply it can get big. But the more I think about it, it is pretty ambiguous and could mean different things, even implying the viewer to give room for the wear's potential.

Yeah, unless it's more specific...I think it's just confusing.

I also think more types of roses would be good. Especially if your market is people who love roses. :) :) Then they may buy more than one shirt.
