A wonderful rose bargain buy.
At our place we started off with roses, then I swapped to native plants to bring honeyeaters into the garden, and finally have swung to a 50/50 mix. I was delighted to be first to call when a chap advertised 10 standard Iceberg roses in the paper last week for just $100. ( $28.50 per rose plus postage is what the rose places are asking this year). I'll put them down both sides of our front path I think. They are only 4 year old roses, the guy doesn't like pruning them seeing they have masses of flowers. Doing a happy dance for sure.
