    $37? Mine was over $50! I ordered SEVEN roses and I did go crazy for the plum crazy. And a few other things.

    The prices on the roses were so good, it was impossible to resist. I actually did pare down my original order!!!

    Now I gotta replan my "garden". Uhm, it's only TWELVE more plants.

    And if the plants arrive and are good sized and in good shape, I'll be wanting to go order the ones I left off this order.

    There are evil people on this forum. . . . not to name names, Dena, but . . . .

    WOW! I am impressed! I order from Parks all the time, but always seeds before. I have always been very happy with them.

    I just bought that coneflower 'Harvest Moon'. Wish I had seen this first.

    LOL, okay, I just finished looking at this site and Dena, there is a very thin line between love and not love, ever heard that???LOL

    Like y'all I have ordered seed from them but never plants.
    So being a big chicken and anticipating my trip with wilo, I'm waiting to see what the plants look like. How long ti; they are delivered, lol

    Janie(dani) please contact your server, I don't think you are getting my emails...because in the past if mine weren't going thru when I would reply to yours it worked but the last 2 you sent I replied and nothing
    I wish I knew where emails go that don't make it thru. Sometimes there is stuff in them I really don't want floating around, lol

    I got my order today! The roses are soaking in buckets of water right now. Giving the other things a nice long drink. I did not get the Hosta or Musa that I ordered, but the roses are nice sized. Bare-root, but already budding out.

    I think I would order again.

    Oh wait. . . maybe I'll do that NOW!

    And they responded today with a follow up email...I liked that too!!

    I didn't get a email saying they were shipped. Just the order confirmation. The website shows my order as processed, not shipped. I was very surprised to see the package on the front porch. Of course, it's hot as blazes today but the porch is in the shade so hopefully no real harm was done. I will let everything soak until at least tomorrow morning. Of course, I did NOT buy containers yet as I was worried the plants would be no good, so now I gotta go BACK out and get containers (and potting soil) for all of these. . . . seven roses. . . . I must be insane!

    Well I have the pots..and no plants yet. On the perrenials forum alot of them had received an email saying they were shipped and a few had already received theirs...
    Thats why I sent the email..and glad I did..seems they shipped mine out the day of my email..whether before or after the email..we'll never know...Ohh heck I don't care just get me my flowers..lol
    I bought one HUGE pot to put 2 of the roses in togather...think this will be ok to do?
