I was going to do a "Top 10" but once I started listing varieties it was not possible to limit it to ten. They are presented in no particular order.
p.s. Ann-Marie gave me grief for not adding comments on each one like I did the semis so I've come back and added my two-cents!

ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDelete99% of the time I sell on eBay because I can sell what's available. If you want a Rose Garden, drop me a note at hoovershybrids@gmail.com. I'm sure we can work something out so you don't lose the bidding wars! :)
Karen - I'm not feeling the love...you never wrote me!
