Where to plant the roses?

For teacher appreciation the kids and I stopped at a local nursery and bought a few blooming plants to give to the teachers. While there I bought three little plants for myself. I left them on the front porch until I could buy some "mud" (soil) for some planters I have on my deck.

The gardener saw the plans sitting there for a couple of days and planted them for me...

...in the middle of the lawn.

What??
