>I live in zone 5b. I have an east-facing 6x15 fence that is shaded by a 100-foot tree, so that it gets about 3 hours of direct afternoon sun and 3 hours of (very) dappled sun through various trees. It might get a couple hours more of dappled sun once it makes it to the top of the fence. I'd like a climber to cover this fence Cornelia's blooms are not usually a straight pink, but have a lot of yellowish warmth, especially focused in their centers. Buds with a deeper shade of coral/strawberry red. Janet at Rogue Valley says: "I would say it will grow well in Zone 6 for sure, but may, quite possibly, survive in colder climates with just a bit of care." Barbara Wilde's Roses book lists this one for zones 4-10. Antique Rose Emporium says zones 6-9. Help Me Find says zones USDA zone 5b through 10b. Ghislaine De Féligonde's blooms change depending on the weather, but can have some definite apricot or orange shades, though most commonly the yellow colors are seen. Usually they fade quickly to very pale or white, though, so at any one point the bush has a large mix of warm colors. Barbara Wilde's Roses book lists this one for zones 5-10. Help Me Find lists the rose for zone 5. Either of these varieties ought to work for your spot, I'd guess. Plant two along the 15-foot distance and either variety ought to quickly fill it in and top your fence. Both are fragrant, flexible, and low in thorns. Both can work well in a pretty good bit of shade. If you don't also want a shrubby effect standing out from the fence but want more to use all the rose's leggy canes to covering the fence, Cornelia might be the better choice. If what you want to see is more like a full shrub that you could also take its longer canes to use for completely covering the fence behind it, then Ghislaine might be the one to choose. But they are not drastically different in form, according to all the pictures I've seen. (I've had Cornelia, but had to get rid of it with RRD after only one year. It did look as if it would make a wonderful climber that would easily do a good job in covering a fence, as far as everything I could see in the rose's habits.) Ghislaine's pictures lead me to believe that that one would cover every square inch of the fence in a large dose of vigorous growth everywhere. You might get by with just planting one rose in the middle, but I'd use 2 if I were doing it. Using 3, it would fill in in a really big hurry and perhaps ask for some pillars and a trellis too! Best wishes, Mary

I've got a couple of white irises I'll dig up for you Rosalinda...I also have diablo ninebark but it doesn't appear to have any shoots off of it. Can you root it? Hilde, I might have a couple of unknown varieties of phlox. I've got several but the tags faded so I don't remember which is which until they bloom. Brenda, I've got your plants already to go. The galardia looks a little wilty but I got plenty of root so hopefully it perks up. If not, I'll get you some more. Tauna, I've got bee balm set aside for you. Is anyone looking for any particular Iris? I've got so many now, and most are in bloom but it seems most years people don't end up taking them. If anyone is looking for any specific colors/varieties, let me know.
