Do you love your home more or less since the confinement?
Comments (53)We started the pandemic at our winter house and are currently at our summer house. I love our townhouse in California. It's the smallest house I've lived in, but I got to renovate and decorate to my current taste. We were very comfortable there, but really bored staying in. All the projects have been done, landscape maintained by HOA, only a small patio with a few potted plants. Really easy to house clean. I spent hours and hours reading. All my usual activities there are outside the home. We are back at our lake house in PA. Always house projects to do. Vegetable and flower gardens to tend. I tend to be much more of a homebody here. I'm happy to poke around in my gardens and kayak out on the lake. I don't love this house as much. It has a somewhat awkward layout(fixed as much as we could when we reno'd). More of a mishmash of furniture styles. If it was up to me, I'd live in CA year round. But my DH loves it here so this is my 6 month compromise....See MoreTrue Passion...what's it like?
Comments (17)Would be a fun one to plant between Passionate Kisses and Sexy Rexy...pity the colors would clash! True passion in human terms is going through the ups, downs, trials, joys, kids, surgeries, moves, years, and all the rest of it, and still being blissfully crazy about each other and can't wait to see each other again no matter how short the separation. It's better than a fairy tale :)...See MoreWhat are good true red roses?
Comments (19)Hybrid Teas as a rule aren't good landscape plants. I've also noticed the more "true red" a rose gets through hybridization then there is an invariable loss of fragrance. My top pick for a true red fragrant landscape rose is CRAMOISI SUPERIEUR (China, 1832). However, it hates the cold so isn't worth trying north of USDA Zone 8 (I grew it in zone 8a Virginia). My neighbor has DOUBLE KNOCK OUT (Shrub, 1999) and it is true red and trouble free for her. No fragrance though. However, the "reddish" red rose that I've ever seen is EUROPEANA (Floribunda, 1962). Now THAT rose is R-E-D. It could serve as a model for color swatches. I have two, and the low growing bushes are literally covered in sprays of saturated red rosettes all season long, which is why I grow them, but no fragrance, and the foliage must be sprayed weekly with fungicides to control both black spot and powdery mildew....See MoreTough love in the garden
Comments (39)Mine is Strawberry Hill. I've had it for three seasons and it's been pretty lackluster. Even though the flowers are pretty and the scent is so good, the vigor and amount of blooms leaves a LOT to be desired. Oh, and Polka, who doesn't have much scent and gangly growth and hardly ANY blooms, but the blooms are so beautiful 😩 Strawberry Hill has one more year to do something or it's gone, Polka is in less of a prime spot so I'm more inclined to be patient with it....See MoreDiane Brakefield
