Haahaahah you know what's really funny? Their trying to sell this very idea at Wal-Mart right now. Yeah their garden center right here in town. But it was poorly put together. But you keep on laughing. Haahaaaa I'll laugh with you.

I think this year it was held a month early. "The plant swap is Saturday, April 30th this year. Thats this Saturday. At Sullivan High School Parking lot, 6631 N Bosworth Ave, Chicago, IL (not affiliated with the school) Starting 10:00 a.m. I'm told. You don't want to be late, because the plants get swapped amazingly fast, and then there is nothing left. My phone is 773-465-9329 -----David"

Bella, I don't volunteer at the LPC, but if you phone them, you should find them to be more than helpful..They're affiliated with Oak Pk, Conservatory and Garfield Park Conservatory...I haven't been to the LPC in a long time, basically due to traffic, (got spoiled after moving from the city)LOL. but I'd try phoning.. You can find their phone # online..Toni

To me it looks like a nice little shrub rose named "Bonica" -- I'll put a link to photos below. I'm out of your zone but "Bonica" grows well here in 10a and is disease resistant. The HelpMeFind description says it can be grown down to zone 4 with winter protection: Here is a link that might be useful: Bonica photos
