When you're looking for something special, especially plants, but want advice on the best variety you go to an expert. With this thinking in mind we drove out to Greenvale Rose Farm of a morning to get help selecting a beautiful rose bush for a friend on the occasion of her very first mother's day.
We walked in and had a quick browse before the proprietor asked us if we needed help. We told him the occasion and a few attributes we were looking for and he made one recommendation out of over 150 varieties he had on hand. We liked the plant but wanted to see if there were just one or two other types available before making our decision. He adamantly refused, said he didn't understand what we wanted and when we asked to see just one other type, he told us he can't tell us what to buy (which is not what we were asking for) and then angrily told us to piss off.
Even if he would have left us to browse by ourselves that would have been better than being treated so rudely. I'm appalled at his behavior and will tali everyone I can to steer clear. read more
