Loving English roses and Old roses, I have just discovered on the web Paul Barden's creations, and they are so nice that I would like to find them. Do you know if I can find Paul's roses in Belgium?

I ordered for the first time from this nursery this year. I am very impressed with the varieties of roses available, I had an extremely hard time choosing only 4 plants. Unfortunately, one I chose was no longer available. They promptly sent me an e-mail and said I could choose a refund of that plants price, or choose to substitute another. I did choose to substitute another. There is a place for special instructions as you check out, and I wrote "leave on side porch", as I did with all the other orders this year. I wish whoever filled the order had paid a bit more attention, as they only wrote "leave on porch" on the box. I found the box on the front porch 5 days after I received the shipping label notification, and I have no idea how long they were there, though I think unlikely more than a day. But the plants showed some wilt. All but one were very young, and very small, with only soft, succulent growth--that I feared was going to get mangled trying to remove them from the box. There was so much tape--taping them to each other and to the box--tape even on the leaves and on the soft growth!--It took me over 20 minutes to cut the roses free. I am going to leave them in their pots in the shade a few days to rehydrate them before trying to plant out. I hope that future orders don't ship the same way, and I hope if I order earlier, all the plants will be the older, sturdier size that one of them was. I hope they take more care to write special instructions. I will definitely order again from them though, because as long as the roses survive these are minor issues, and they do truly have a great catalogue of rare roses.
