Last Summer I bought 3 clems at Walmart that were labeled "pink" in a decorative plastic pot that looked to be a 3 gallon size. They were half price because they were a little past their peak. But there was at least one flower on each, and they looked an awful lot like Josephine. The roots filled the pot.

But some years ago I bought a Louise Rowe there that turned out to be Madame Julia C. At the time I wasn't that interested in the smaller flowered varieties, and didn't know much about caring for clems, so it died. I did get a good deal on MJC last year at HD. She is coming up nicely now, as is one Jo. It must have better light & warmth conditions. A lot of my clems still haven't broken dormancy yet.

HD finally got the small Roseville pots in this last week, but the only one I didn't have was Barbara Jackman. Nice 4" pot full of roots.
