I ordered two potted roses, which were packed in a box designed to be transported horizontally, with the plants laid head to toe. Unfortunately, the delivery was handled upright, causing one of the pots to be turned completely upside down. As a result, many young branches with flower buds were badly broken. It was truly heartbreaking to open the box and find them in such a damaged state.
There were no labels or signs on the box to indicate the correct handling or orientation. Perhaps if clear instructions had been provided, the courier might have handled the package with more care.
The bare root I ordered is now growing so healthy. Can’t wait for its flower to bloom in the next few months. Thanks for sending me this very healthy bare root. Looking forward for its blooms.
