I planted the Coral Flower Carpet rose this spring, which I purchased from Lowe's. I want to thank you for the most carefree rose bush I've ever owned! I was also impressed because you included a packet of starter fertilizer that fed the plants for the entire season!! I am so pleased that I could plant and feed in one step and just enjoy the lovely blossoms. Thank you very much for a superior product! - L.G., Ohio, USA
