hello everyone
I was in kmart last week and picked up two potted delbard roses that were a bit droopy for $6.00 each,( just needed a drink) one was called
"pimprenelle" the other called "paris" even though the labels were on them I am just wondering if anyone has grown them and what they are like
delbards have always been out of my price range so grabbed them when I saw them
thanks

Way to go Lorraine-I paid $23 for a delbard at Kmart last week.Swore I wasn't going to buy roses this year but this one had a bloom open and I fell deeply in love.
The name is Chandon Rosier and it has incredible blooms.
I haven't got either of the ones you scored but I am sure they will perform wonderfully-the 4 that I have are all vigorous and healthy.

Yes they are expensive.
Last week I paid $28 for a fantastic potted Paul Cezanne with lots of buds....but....I also ordered a Chartreuse De Parma as well!!!
I think when the roses give everyone so much pleasure it is worth it. And when I think of the money I would spend if I was a smoker etc I think it is money well spent.
Gardening is a healthy wonderful habit/obession so I say--go for it!! especially if the roses are Delbards!! |
