[MR] Old English Roses

[Bary Sears]

For those interested, my local COSTCO (and, I assume, others) are selling
Jackson and Perkins old English roses.  The package indicates they have 70
petals, and certainly look like the 'cabbage roses' of old.  Couldn't find
out what stock they are using.  On the other hand, J&P are doing something
to their stock - the two varieties I saw were colored apricot and yellow.  I
don't believe the colors are period.
