They will still be tinier one or 2 cane wonders. Very small all year round would be my guess. Sometimes I am happily suprised to get a larger one with lots of foliage, but not often, honestly.

I've never ordered from them. Too put off by reports of the size of the plants they sell for the prices they're charging - nothing they've offered has been rare enough to tempt me into ordering in spite of this! Never say never, but I'm not someone who's easily daunted, so...

I haven't ordered from them in years. I did order some roses that I thought I couldn't find elsewhere. The plants were tiny. They are now huge and flourishing. I found that I enjoyed visiting them in person much more. The display garden was fun, the staff was really nice and I was able to pick from the more vigorous of the roses available for sale. It really improved my attitude. Ofcourse not everyone can do this.

I ordered three roses from Heirloom this spring. They are all doing very well now but they were small when I bought them. I planted all of them in the ground right away when I got them because I'm not very good at watering pots. You can't tell the difference now between them and the other roses I bought from other places. I wouldn't do a fall order though as it took awhile before they starting growing.

I've had good results----I planted them directly in the ground.

I bought 4 earlier this year. I've had them in pots and they are doing quite well. Within a few weeks in a pot, they are the size of Chamblee or Ashdown roses. So if you can't get the rose you want anywhere else, it's a good choice.

Thanks, all. I've dealt with them before and have always found their plants (and customer service) to be very good -- but they are rooted cuttings, not "plants." And I'm not crazy about paying full-size plant price for a rooted cutting. But I think they are the only supplier of the rose I want. So I guess Ill bite the bullet, this time. If I could get it from Roses UnLtd, tho, I would -- those people ship good roses.
