Bloomin' Easy Plants seems to be mainly a wholesale marketing line for selling via retailers and garden centres. Possibly it is a brand of Van Belle Nursery, Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Yes, they do wholesale to garden centers, there was an extensive Bloomin' Easy line this season (summer 2023) at my local Walmart garden center in Albuquerque NM. They also are an online retail nursery, I ordered a rose from them this season (Gumball Goody) and it was shipped quickly and had a great root system. That said, they are currently offering only 3 roses (Gumball Goody, Peach Lemonade, and Cinnamon Hearts) on the website. I purchased a Peach Lemonade 1 gallon size locally.

I ordered all 3. It is a real gamble with these types. 'Campfire' was wonderful. I got it the first year it was out. 'Never Alone', on the other hand, was a disaster. Very down prone, some bs, and the blooms don't drop/green up really badly. 'Never Alone' did have an ideal plant shape, but that is where its merits end imo. 'Campfire' is slightly bigger than one could ask for, but its an amazing do-er. But, yeah, its a real gamble not being able to see these not-so-cheap roses in person first.

Michael, do you mean you ordered Peach Lemonade, Gumball Goody and Cinnamon Hearts from Bloomin' Easy? If so, I can vouch for PL and GG, they have settled in quickly as container roses and bloomed a lot in their first season with excellent overall health and disease free foliage. (That said, this is an arid climate here in New Mexico, so BS isn't a problem). I'm expecting them to excel next season, and will post new pics/comments. Regarding Campfire, that one is on my radar, but I haven't seen it locally and it's not widely available online.

Sorry, missed your post. Yes, I bought those 3. They have not arrived yet and its dormant season. We will see what happens in 2024, it seems.
I love Campfire. Little to no prickles and really wants to bloom. Dimensions similar to Bonica. May get slight powdery until its roots get anchored in, probably because it stresses itself from wanting to bloom non-stop. Once mature, I don't even water it in August lol, and it remains just fine.

Michael, I just received the Jung Seed print catalog (LOL, one of the remaining nurseries that does a large full color catalog) and Campfire is available for 2024 as own root. So, I'm going to add it this season. It's the only vendor I could find that carries it. So we'll see how it does in a high desert climate. New Mexico is a long way from Canada where this rose was bred!!

Campfire is good here in the low desert of CA, so it should love NM.

Funny thing is, in studies, hardiness is hard to track genetically. They found there are 3 primary clusters of polygenetics for hardiness. Too many genes involved to track as singularly responsible. Those clusters are heat hardiness, adaptive/general hardiness, and cold hardiness. Often, in the most hardiness 2 to 3 of those clusters would heavily overlap. Not always though, but enough so that patterns emerged. Some rugosa hybrids are a good example of those that have both general and cold hardiness, but languish and sometimes burn in high desert. However, many roses that are cold hardy are also heat hardy.
In other words, we cannot see this traits (heat and cold hardy) as exclusive. Sometimes its a more complex story.

I have a container grown Peach Lemonade that has evolved into a vibrant, healthy plant with continuous bloom. The pastel multicolor effect is pleasing, and it has a wonderful carefree charm. I just saw that J and P is featuring it (although it is sold out for 2023), and hopefully they will carry it next year, because it seems to be sort of a Roses For Dummies type plant, easy care and tough, and hardy to zone 4. It's bred by Bill Radler, and has Knockout lineage, so that makes sense. I grow a lot of roses, and like this one a LOT.
