I have four Blush Noisette. They are all disease free, smell gorgeous and bloom for most of the year. They have been planted now for two years and are about 6 feet high and 5 feet wide. They are no problem, just lovely. My Papa Gontier, started to grow well and flower, but just suddenly died for no reason that I can fathom. Now all I have of it, is these photos. Daisy

I've already ordered (and just received) Quietness and Don Juan from Chamblees. So they are planted. Eager to see what they do this spring. I'm holding off ordering anything more until spring for 2, well 3 reasons. I am trying to support our local quality nurseries. I've been talking to them, and they've had a rough go trying to order, due to the choas going on with growers lately. J&P of course is out of commission for the moment. Weeks, who knows. The nurseries will have roses; they just don't know which of the varieties they ordered will actually arrive. I want to browse theirs in February first. Then I might go ahead and order mailorder. 2nd reason is money. My budget is sad currently; will be a little better come January. 3rd reason is there is a slight chance my wife may get a professor gig she's looking at that would require us to move in August--all the way to Juneau, Alaska!! That would be an adventure, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. I like our growing season here much better. But hey! Believe it or not, Juneau's in zone 7. No too bad considering how far north it is. Gotta love that marine effect air. My hope is that her current university will offer her fulltime work soon. If that happens, we won't even consider moving. Here's what I "probably" will add in the spring. Peace (again) Buxom Beauty/aka Parole either Veteran's Honor or possibly Pride of England Love and Peace I've also been eying Osiana, Tropical Sunset,Sugar Moon, Dolly Parton, St. Patrick, and Santa Fe. I don't know where I would put these, though. : )

I ordered from her last year, just Huldine, and I have to say she sends well established plant. I already had other clematis from Bluestone planted so only needed 1 more.BUT, if were to get more, I'd definitely go back to her site. Let us know what you get. Julia

Hi Kenny, Sorry for the late reply to your request as I have been out of town. I had to dig the name tag out from under 18 inches of snow. I couldn't remember off the top of my head as this whole area had been replanted late fall. Picea pungens 'Thuem' Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Picea p. 'Thuem'
