    These are the four bare root roses last week we bought from T&M at the end of last year.

    These were they this morning.

    The smallest one, (white) lost it's head in the breeze overnight! (Right-hand bottom corner).

    The others with far more foliage were undamaged.

    On close inspection, the graft onto the trunk was only partially attached. Can't blame T & M for it not growing as it should. It was this which probably was the cause for it not being as prolific as the other three.

    Anyway, a polite e-mail to them today with photographic evidence to support it, got me within a few minutes, a promise of a replacement in November when they send out the bare root plants.

    Well done T&M!
