Take them back and get your money back.

yeah I have some dead body baggers myself. I planted a olympiad that is taking off... but low and behold the buds look like there are white flowers in there??? Hmmmm...

I also bought a Queen Elizabeth & a Mr. Lincoln that did just what your's did. I bought them for under $5 a piece at home depot.. oh well buyer beware I guess.........

Unfortunately for me, I am the queen of never saving receipts for plants because I never believe that anything I buy will die on me. Ha! Plus, like you said bgebeh, they were a deal, so buyer beware!

Yeah I learned my lesson this year. The funny thing is that in March Lowe's sell's cheap container roses for under $7 each. I have planted 3 of these and they are just great. I wish I could be patient in January and wait for these roses in March. Next team i see Home Depot body bags I'm going to run away! Just too risky in my opinion.......

With roses - and most other plants - I've found time and again that the old maxim holds: You get what you pay for.

Please start taking your dead roses back to the sellers. It's the only way that there's any money trail as to their selling not-very-good roses.
And seeing a dead roses carried through the door might make other potential buyers think twice.
