We hate roses, in Winter. They’re prickly, aggressive and rJsjElp-’ sometimes it would seem y lB j downright savage. Not at all like UaW everyone’s favourite flower of Summer and Autumn. In •. Summer we are selling more ■ and more roses, growing in containers in bud and flower. ”C - The prickles are forgotten, ■■■n seeing is believing, everything's -J rosy. But tradition dies hard so Z we try to make things bearable Watch it. HI have you back to Gardenway. for the stoics who plant roses now. We've covered most of the prickles with polythene, put up the coloured pictures and renewed our poetic licence for the descriptions. And knocked the price back to $5.99. Yes, all varieties new stars and firm favourites, reds, yellows or pinks, they're all one price, climbers too. The price is reduced but not the Gardenway guarantee. Come Summer, if just one of our roses fails to reach your high expectations bring it back and we'll refund the cost cheerfully, on the spot, without fuss. Customers who buy 5 will do even better. Select 5 or more from any of the bushes or climbers displayed and you pay only $5.49 each, a saving of 50c per bush. So from Madam President, Francis Phoebe, Gertrude Schweitzer, old Grandpa Dickson and all it's see you at Gardenway for the best deal in roses this Winter. Then there are sales, often genuine... ■ Not always, but often simply a clean-out of stock which was at its most desirable in April and offered at a lower price in June to compensate you for the inconvenience of planting it in June. In our business a supplier may produce too many Summer lines, and offer the surplus at genuine reductions to us, rather than hold them all year, or repot them into larger sizes. When Gardenway buy these we pass the benefits on and our guarantee still applies. Phred Digg tells the hole story. You re entitled t 0 it You'll prove it with Gardenway's $1.99 and $7.95 shrubs and trees. Rockspray Cotoneasters for walls, banks and groundcover; evergreen Champagne Bubbles and dwarf Californian Lilacs tough spreaders for low maintenance gardens. Plenty of those only $1.99. And a few dozens of choice ornamental conifers priced only $7.95 from a Summer' collection that ranged from $l4-$2O. There are plenty to prove the point at all Gardenway branches. Advice? - Here's the hole story. If it seems cheap, ask why. If the answer seems unlikely, run. Insist on instructions, preferably in print on how to grow the item successfully. And read the guarantee, or read between the lines, if that's all you're offered. Gardenway open 7 days 9 a.m. * 5.30 p.m. For persona! shoppers. Visa and Bankcard facilities.
