Usually we need at least five plants for a hanging basket, or, eventually spending 45$ for a ready made basket that will not overwinter well.
We were so excited when we received these two plants. ( Dark Eyes), Each has its own basket, and really fills it up nicely.
They are very happy plants, much heartier than the high end garden center variety. Growing quickly and throwing blossoms up constantly has been a boon to our rather large hummingbird group, they are regularly enjoying these, and both our Romence gardens roses; an Ink Spots and Oklahoma.
We'll be back for more next year, I can assure you.
Also I have to give a big shout out to Jessica and Sarah in CS. We had a small second order, the fuchsias and three tomatoes, and there was an issue with one of the tomatoes. Jessica and Sarah were right on it for us, and absolutely took care of us. As far as both my roses, they are nicely grafted, really hearty, and both are over four feet tall and blooming like crazy. More on those if I can review on a page. If not, and you are looking for a really great bare root rose, good enough for a fourth generation rose grower, or a novice, you will get one here.
plants arrived in good shape and transplanted well into the hanging baskets look forward to seeing them blooming.
The plants looked wonderful and are thriving.,
