About the dahlias
1. A lot of my tubers look very small, but so do some of yours, so I guess that's ok. As long as each piece has an eye, correct?
2. I know you sent them to me packed in peat, but was each variety in a regular plastic bag? or do you just label them and pack them in the peat in boxes for storage? I know I read a recommendation to use the perforated bags you can buy for veggies, but folks have been storing dahlia tubers a lot longer than those bags have been on the market.

I got a few pics yesterday. This rose is right next to the foundation of the house. But it WAS 27*
