What did you order online this year and how is it doing?

I thought this would be a nice little discussion to get going on here since most of the sites are done shipping for the year. This was my first year rose gardening and also buying roses online so I'd love to hear other picks and experiences...

from Edmunds:

Raspberry Cream Twirl -- growing great, currently huge with about 5 buds (for my first peek at a bloom) about to open
Rainbow's End mini -- did not grow, called Edmunds and got a credit for next season

from Jackson and Perkins:

Mardi Gras -- growing great, had first flush of blooms and is working on second, beautiful color
Monkey Business -- slow growing but seems to be making it, has 1 bud (first bud) about to open

from Roses Unlimited:

Grimaldi
Whiskey Mac
Julio Iglesias
Henri Matisse
Headliner
Natasha Monet
Rainbow
Dick Clark

all of my Roses Unlimited roses are growing amazingly well and have produced tons of buds and blooms.

Julio Iglesias is amazing and I am so happy I got that one, gorgeous pink and white striped blooms.

from Heirloom Roses:

just received today...

Cupcake mini
Baby Paradise mini
Stars and Stripes Forever
Lady Jane Grey
Happy Child

Smallest plants I've received so far, but healthy looking! Was kind of expecting that since I read some reviews on here about tiny plants. Planning on putting Cupcake, Baby Paradise, and Stars and Stripes Forever in the ground soon and potting Lady Jane Grey and Happy Child to put in the ground next year when I "add on" to my fence line flower bed.

I also just placed an order at Regan's Nursery for next year for:

Dark Night
George Burns
Candyland
All American Magic
Oranges and Lemons

Any comments any of these?

Let's hear all about what you got this season and how you like it and where from!
