Great looking roses, Joe. Very unique 1/2 white/pink bloom. And the Gingko tree is terrific!

Joe, I just planted my Kronprincessin Viktoria today. That will be cool if she has half & half flowers like yours. Can't wait. And Eglantyne is gorgeous as are your autumn leaves. Great photograph!

@Lilbit Oh wow, I didn't even realize how some of them have grown quite a lot until I just compared the photos, haha! I wondered too, that's why I was terrified that the others might get affected so I pulled all the leaves right off when I saw the mushiness.. People said that the albinos are harder to survive on their own, I wonder if they're more prone to overwatering or other negative factors as well. @Rina As much as I can see right now, there seem to be one that looks pure yellow with a hint of light green, so it could be an albino pup, but everyone else is normal (did a head count, there are 7 pups in total)

Yes, I don't think it matters anyway. The French seller I purchased most of my plants from is astrocactus2010. I like how his plants are Buy It Now only, and shipping is reasonable cactusculture has the biggest selections and is Germany-based. Most of his items need bidding, and could go really high, shipping is a bit higher too. gaia8910 is an Italian seller with neat plants too

Mike, VCR's very fragrant and smells just like a rose. Even with just this single bloom I can still detect faint whiff of it from a distance. I know a vendor in Oahu who sells VCR cutting for $16. If you want it, let me know and I'll be happy to pick one up for you when I'm there. Wow!! that Scentational is still there? I kinda wanted to get it last month but it wasn't on sale. $40 seems reasonable enough! :) Did you see that giant plumeria plant I found in the Asian market around here? Could it be a promising sign plumerias will soon be available in our state? LOL Kenny

That Insider Trader is really doing well for you. I have Echinacea Salsa and Cheyenne Spirit (various colors) and planted them a couple of months ago but went to Lowes two weeks ago and got the Cheyenne Spirit with the orange tones like yours. I should stay out of the garden center at Lowes. LOL. I usually have no issues with coneflowers but we will see how Cheyenne Spirit and Pow Wow do next year. Hope you got yours in the ground as they do much better than being in pots and they do like the cold winter.

Joe, those could keep your heart high until Christmas. Beautiful images of your beautiful roses. My Eglantyne is also blooming as is Redoute which can bloom all winter if I let her.

I love Krown Princess - half and half. I immediately thought of vanilla/strawberry ice cream.

Is this common for her to revert back and forth?

Beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing.

I've asked this myself but have never gotten an answer from anyone else who has had it do this it also produces some solid pink blooms on ocassion which are not like the original SDLM form. I know mystic beauty is a pink sport or Kronprincesin

Not the last one -- here's another 'Hurrah' -- for you.

And one of these, too: Bravo!

The focus on the 'Eglantyne' is perfect.

Loved that 1st pic of Eglantyne - looks beatiful - are the blooms always like that- with a button eye at the center?

How beautiful they are. I love the Ginko just as much--one of the very few trees that shows fall color in coastal Southern Calfornia.

ideally I like the button eye but it's not consistent.
