I placed my order on the 1st day when they were open for sale in November. I have been patiently waiting for my order to be shipped out. However, I received an email today that Brass Band was cancelled from my order! 😭😭😭 I have been wanting this rose for years!!!

Sorry to hear that KJ. Seems all the vendors are doing a bunch of cancellations this year. Usually they take a rough count in the fields and make a conservative estimate on how many they have to sell. I wonder if the issue might be gall…on social media I’ve seen so many posts of roses received with gall, and so many cancellations .

I got the same email today. I wonder what happened that they don’t have it available after all.

jaxondel, I did know about the states where ag inspections are required per Vintage. Perhaps that's something that should be addressed further on their website. The main reason I replied in the first place was the 'minimum order' issue which seems to come up again and again with them, I dunno why (and I'm not singling anyone out on that issue). It doesn't seem fair (nor accurate) to say that when the roses cost the same, it is the shipping containers that are the issue.

Beth -- You're Paul Gaugin is still on back order at Hortico, along with mine. I put in 3 orders from them this year totalling 31 roses (which includes 7 that I received but that failed to break dormancy last year and which they are replacing at no cost). On Dec. 3, they sent me a "confirmation" of my order and said it would ship out on Dec. 15, And, of course, all of the roses are still shown as available now on the Hortico website. Today they called me and said of my 31 roses, only 11 would be available to ship out on December 15, and that this is their only remaining ship date to the US for the year. The other 20 (including Paul Gaugin) are now backordered, again. I chose to hold off until January for the whole lot of 'em, rather than pay double shipping costs (which was what they were proposing). At least they didn't hit my credit card early this time. But, it's still maddening. "Available" on their website does not necessarily mean the roses are "available" at all. It means "we might get these roses in someday." And Hortico seems to be getting worse than in the past, in my considered opinion. Kathy

Interesting. She said their system glitched for my order. Must have done something similar for two of your orders. I am glad mine are coming in April though. It's only a few weeks difference but I'll take it! Hope the two St. Albans are happy and growing for you soon! :)

@vaporvac - not sure if they are completely dead yet. But they look mighty sad. I did plant them deep, so there is the hope of growth from below. It's not just the kordes though, it's everything else too - carruths, meillands, etc. I just had heard so many things about Kordes hardiness that I was shocked to see them dead to the ground. Poisedon, Cherry Lady (aka. fiji) & Summer Sun look terrible. However, Rosanna has buds starting on her lower canes already. But I will get out this week and start pruning away & see what happens. The austins have at least a few inches to a foot above the ground & the canadian roses have plenty of green. I do want to make a proper list of the roses that have some good starting cane left though for records. I was surprised to see a lot of green on Bolero & Wild Blue Yonder.

I think Alameda is right. Must have been a crop failure. So sad. I want it so badly 😞

Or a big customer (landscape contractor, municipality, etc.....), came in with an order that swallowed up yours, so your rose went to them. It happens. Crop failure...unlikely. A crop failure would have been known at fall digging at the latest, before catalog printing, and certainly before your placing your order.

Sorry for your disappointment.

Moses.

Well, Moses, if your guess is correct, that a landscaper’s large order “swallowed “ our little orders, that would be very hard for me to “swallow”.

Moses, if your guess is correct, I actually feel better since I might still have chance to get it in the future when J&P have more in stock.

Ben, probably not gall I guess? Brass Band is listed as own root in JP website. I thought only grafted get gall?

I received an email today the rest of my order was shipped out: Double Amber, Double easy orange, Golden Zest

I got Brass Band from RU a couple of years ago, just to have a back-up for my elderly grafted one.

KJ, own root roses can get gall.

KJ, your order and mine were exactly the same four. How funny. I haven’t received my shipping notice yet, but I’m one zone colder than you. Mine should be coming soon.
