(((((Jo)))))) Imagine finding you over here:) Oh I don't know how to tend my Dahlias, so I thought I would pop over here & see if I can get help, They are huge & drying out, I need to know what to do with them, how long have you had yours? How do you take care of them for the winter? I have read saran wrap, moist peat moss, I have no clue, but I better get a clue QUICK!!!!!!! Hug's:)Anita

@noseometer...(7A, SZ10, Albuquerque) From all I've ever heard, Bobby James is a wonderful rose. But it IS a house eater. I wonder if it's so vigorous that it rapidly outgrows a ship-able size? It might be a matter of timing it between, "OK, it has rooted" to "wow, that won't fit in a box", lol. Of course the rose could be pruned, but that's another step in the "shipping and handling" that's not necessary for most other roses. I'm sure the reason it's scarce is NOT that it's hard to propagate. It is a hybrid wichurana, which tend to root very easily. But it could just be that there's not historically been enough demand for it. Nurseries grow the roses they can sell. P.S. For anyone who is reading the whole thread, I DID get my Prairie Peace, and it's going to be spectacular. This last Spring (2022) was its third here, and it had at least 30-40 flowers, and it's becoming a more graceful shrub with time. Worth.Every.Penny. (And it was a LOT of pennies, lol) EDIT: I just checked HMF, and supposedly Roses Unlimited carries Bobby James. I checked, and it's listed on the website. You'd have to call to see if she really has it this year.

We love your style! Here's some pictures of recent fireplace projects we've worked on. We do cladding in raw, blackened steel!
