Should I move my Hippolyte band?
Comments (2)Mine is in full sun and looks okay. How about seeing how it does and, if you don't like it, move it later? (You could end up with two plants of 'Hippolyte' this way. I bet it suckers.) Melissa P.S. I like purple with white and with pale pink, too....See MoreHow to train a 10 x 7' Hippolyte?
Comments (8)I really hate to prune them. Such profusion if left alone. There must be a stucture designed to make those umbrella's. I suppose I could make something like that by buying bendable wire rods and fastening them together. Then how do you attach the canes? Maybe a couple of rings, the first bigger and the next smaller and possibly a third. The rings would have to be able to open and to put them around the canes. Then something to join them vertically. I think about that and see what and how to make the rings. I would also have to put the rings before they leaf out! Maybe that's a solution short of finding an umbrella arbor!...See MoreAnyone has Belle de Crecy or Hippolyte?
Comments (36)Welcome to OGRs, Magpie!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I am SO excited for you and your new rose acquisitions! OGRs just get better every year. I look forward to hearing about your garden as it matures and seeing photos of all those beautiful blooms. The forum has yet to invent scented posts and replies, darn it! I need to contact Burling today so I can join our Erinnerung an Brod Trio and so I can start growing that luscious purpleness ASAP and fill my very empty and impatiently waiting trellised arch. EanB is going to be a centerpiece in one of my beds. Gallicas are my passion, and a few years ago I began posting an annual Gallica entry. If my life isn’t too crazy and no one else has posted one, I usually start an Alba thread and a Damask thread, too. I grow a few mosses and sometimes throw those into the mix somewhere. I think KS started a Centifolia thread this year. Sometimes someone starts other threads like Bourbon, Tea and Hybrid Musk.

Comments (6)Don't know if your unit was sitting there like this for 13 days, but just lay the framing on top the rafter ties, since it appears your unit will be hugging the bottom of the rafter ties. Mount it to slotted steel angle in a strut system to hang your unit from. Thousands of videos on this, angle readily available at the big box. These 2x8(?)@48"o.c. are rafter ties, where the connection to the rafters is a critical connection point to prevent your walls from bowing out. Those little purlins are not necessary and have done damage by twisting (apparently) the rafter tie away from the rafter heel....See Morerjlinva
