Gardening season is officially underway, and you can score several deals on live plants for Memorial Day weekend, including discounts on fruit trees, hydrangeas, and shrubs. But if you want to add some blooms to your yard, Spring Hill Nurseries' bare root shrub roses will ship straight to your door, ready to plant. Hardy in Zones 4-10, this disease-resistant rose bush will eventually reach up to 4 feet tall when mature. However, it arrives just 6 inches tall, so don't expect flowers right away.

With hundreds of positive reviews, it makes an excellent mower that will last you through this summer and beyond.
