This year I will be planting a 1317.5 Rose, and my 960 Johnson.I choose to grow my 960 because it germinated the fastest and the seed cot leaves are the biggest leaves I have ever seen.I dont know if that matters but I could not pass it up,I have a good feeling about this plant.The 1317.5 Rose is also a great big looking plant.Plants were put out in the garden today,May 12th.Both plants are looking great in there new homes.The 1039 Leonard did not germinate for me,may be next year.
