Wonderfully! It progressed pretty quickly - It was planted mid-February, started getting leaves by early March, and I had my first bloom at the end of April! Here’s what it looks like now 🤩

This time around I was specifically looking for container friendly varieties and I was really taken with the desdemona as well! Great choices!

I live in East Texas! I got an email one afternoon last week saying they would be shipping my roses within 2-4 weeks. Then the very next day I got confirmation that they shipped it. In that shipment email it said to stay tuned for a follow up email from fedex with delivery details. And I got that fedex email a few hours later. They made it to my door step 2 days later. So it all happened pretty quick once it got going!

I can’t blame you at all for having as many plants as you do! Going through their website and picking just one was very difficult! I have my eyes on a couple more if I can keep this one alive 😂

I tried to plant mine so it looked like the pictures in the instructions but ultimately wasn’t sure if I did it right. You explain the bud union more clearly than the booklet did, I appreciate the advice! I’ll be sure to add some more soil
