OMG! Did you get your Edmund's catalog??

8 years ago

Holy cow it came today. Wow. Just Wow! If you like stripey roses like I do, you're in trouble!!! Not only do they have the new peach and apricot stripey ht PEACH SWIRL from Certified Roses, they also have two new Weeks stripeys, FREDA KAHLO, an orange, red and gold floribunda, and the pink-on-pink grandiflora called PARADE DAY. Crap. I'm gonna be in trouble. I already put ten roses in my tentative basket. Oh there's a new Hulthemia hybrid, that's all ruffly and semi-double and changes colors from pinks to lavenders called EASY ON THE EYES. And I caved on MADAME ANNISETTE and PRINCESSE CHARLENE, which Regan's has already sold out of. Also replacing two that died... LOUISE HAY and NEIL DIAMOND. The other two I chose (so far) are VIOLET'S PRIDE and FRUITY PETALS CL. Youch, that's over $200. Good thing tho... they have free shipping on orders over $100! Was gonna order PEACH SWIRL, VIOLET'S PRIDE and FRUITY PETALS from Regan's, but even with their 10% discount, the Edmund's ones are cheaper and free shipping!! Yeah!!!

    lol I happened to get online and saw some new ones a couple days ago and ordered. Hopefully I will get a catalogue soon.

    Well, thanks a lot, Beth - I'm that much poorer because of you! Haha, no, I appreciate you letting us know. I have not received a catalogue yet. I've wanted to grow Princess Charlene de Monaco for a couple of years but have resisted - wanting to avoid ordering from a different nursery I won't mention. Just ordered it but where to put it - who knows!

    How do you get an Edmunds catalog? iIs it free or do you need to buy it?

    I got mine too. I think you can just call them to request a catalog. I ordered roses from them this spring, this is my 1st time to receive a catalog. A lot of lovely roses! I might have Princess Charlene de Monaco in the garden, I thought I bought one this summer, but have to find it......if not I have to order a couple. :-)

    Got mine yesterday. Already made out my order.

    Thanks for the link Romogen.

    Beth I must admit that your enthusiasm and photos of blooms on here and HMF have inspired several of my purchases! Luckily I already bought the two I really wanted from Alden's... a local nursery... so I am totally able to withstand the temptations in Edmond's. Like you, Peach Swirl and Princess Charlene De Monaco got me pretty excited.

    I like to support local nurseries in person when I can. :)

    I wasn't able to withstand the temptation from mail ordering some of the rarities I found at Rose Petal Nursery though. Serratipetala, Mademoiselle Franziska Kruger (I'm weird... I like foliage and the idea that it is prone to vegetative growth), Fortune's Five Color Rose. The shipping cost is prohibitive though so that stopped me from ordering too many.

    Well guys, I'm more than happy to enable you all! LOL

    I decided to change out one of the roses on that list above. I think I'll hold off on MADAME ANISETTE. Not sure where she will go. And I'm thinking maybe she'll show up at Lowes in the spring. The one I am changing to tho is COLOR MAGIC. I lost mine several yrs ago, and got a replacement one earlier this yr from Heirloom (or was it RVR?)... anyway, it was obviously own-root. Well, it died on me the other day. I think I'd rather have it grafted. Still gotta send the order in.

    Then, I wanna do a small order from Hortico, seeing as how they have to replace a couple from last yr that were the wrong roses. I have to pay the shipping, so figured I'll order a few more roses.... They have a bunch of DAs that they didn't have last yr. I gotta fill in the apricot/yellow bed with a couple more...

    Also wanna do a small order from J&P once they get the rest of their roses added on. I really don't need any more roses... LOL but I lost a very large amount this past season so I have quite a few open spaces to fill in.


    We'll all have to compare our PRINCESS CHARLENEs next yr!!

    I received my Edmunds catalog yesterday, something about an actual catalog instead of looking at roses on a website is special!

  • 8 years ago

    Oh mercy. I just wanna stare at the cover forever. Ordered Charlene already but there's several in there I must have!
