Japanese rose plants - new website

2 years ago

Hi Rose friends,
I have noticed a couple new sellers on Etsy that are selling Japanese rose plants and found this website: https://kateroses.com/ . Has anyone bought from them? If yes, what's your experience?

    @seasiderooftop "I've ranted here before about how irritating I find it when sellers photoshop the colors of roses. This is really prevalent especially with "blue" roses. IMO it's akin to false advertising, and hugely off-putting."

    Its not akin to false advertising - it IS false advertising. Some of the photos representing 'Blue Moon Stone' and 'Turn Blue' are so conspicuously photoshopped, they are prime content for an April Fools day posting. If I paid $90 USD (plus shipping) for one of those, and it bloomed a color not much better than a $4.99 'Blue Girl' from Home Depot, the air would "turn blue" with my expletives!
