"THIS GUY IS A SCAM,DON"T USE. HE WILL NOT REFUND MONEY IN CHAPTER 11 HE SAYS.
BEWARE "

"I manage the entranceway island for our development in northern New Castle County, DE. I needed a colorful, spreading plant to replace an area that had formerly been populated with Black-eyed Susans. A resident who knows a lot about plants suggested a Flower Carpet (a spreading rose bush). After reviewing the colors they came in, I opted to get the "Scarlet" variety.

Because it was created by a German in Germany in 2007 (relatively recent) and none of the local nurseries had it, I concluded (erroneously) that it might be "rare", so searched the Web. I found it at Amazon.com via Clifton's Nursery (Calif). Price: $44.98; shipping, $16.49. Pretty steep, but I THOUGHT I had no choice, ordered and received it.

Problem 1: What arrived was about 1/3 the size of the picture on Amazon.
Problem 2: I thought the S/H charges were a bit much.

I registered feedback on Amazon and, to their credit, Clifton's returned the shipping charge. However, on Sunday (3 days ago) I visited a local nursery and found that they had the same plant - larger, and from the same grower (Monrovia) for $29.99.

So the "Scarlet" variety of this plant is apparently not scarce, but Clifton's is charging like it is. Before you order from them, check your local nurseries."
