The plant arrived promptly and was perfectly healthy upon delivery. It has now been in the ground for over a week and has leafed out wonderfully, and is growing fast and vigorously! The stems are petite, roughly pencil sized and a foot or so tall, but as Marilyn is an older and difficult variety to find this is what I would expect. I also ordered the smaller size (2qt) to match my other young roses. I would easily recommend or buy from The Greenhouse again. Thank you all!
