Comments (15)without a doubt---LOUISE ESTES. Everything I want in a HT. Good looking bush from top to bottom. Beautiful foliage, long cutting stems, one of the most beautiful blooms I have ever seen and it smells great. I have never seen a picture of this rose that does it any justice. You have to see it in person to understand what I mean. Now it gets tough. #2 would be MOONSTONE---Some good shots on HMF. #3 is BRINESSA---Beautiful smoky pink blooms on a good bush. Foliage like leather. Getting a little tough to find now aday....See MoreUPDATE: Neighborhood Clean Out Your Garden Swap #2
Comments (92)Ann, I'm jealous. My friends always want me to come over and give them landscaping ideas or a plan. I would LOVE to be some kind of a designer. I would have no idea how much to charge (or when I would find the time to do it...LOL!!). Good for you!! As for the garden hooker thing, you must plant alot of those mushrooms that Barb has! LOL!!!! LOL!!!! FRANCES, I could just KISS YOU!!!!! My brugs are budding like crazy right now, I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!! I think that what you told me about removing the extra growth is what did the trick. It seems like as soon as I did that, a week later I started to see buds. OMG!!!! I can't wait. I will be taking a million pictures of them when they bloom!!! WOOHOO!!!! Ok, now another question for you ladies, what do I do about aphids?? I noticed that a few of my brugs already have them, ugh, I don't want to bring these inside this winter! :-( Oh, and Frances, I have a loooong list of things for you, so you can come up here and be my handy-woman for a while!!! ;-) I posted this on another trade thread but I wanted to ask you guys too... a good friend of mine just bought a new house that has an indoor pool. Well, the pool room is like a greenhouse (I am so over the top jealous, I want to move in!!!! I told my husband that we should start looking for a new house. LOL) Anyway, she said that I could overwinter some of my larger plants there if I wanted to. Does anyone know if the chlorine in the air will harm my plants? I've looked online and everything I've read so far says the water in pools isn't that much worse than city tap water (as far as chlorine content) and that plants next to a pool will be fine. Anyone have experience with this. I would be SOOOOO happy if I could overwinter there, MAN would that clear up some space in the house and my plants would be so much happier there.

Comments (28)Carol, como estas, amigo? There should be an upside down question mark at the beginning of that sentence. Many moons ago, I could speak some Spanish, but, sadly that language has slowly disappeared from my aged brain. You need people to converse with who are fluent to keep up your skills, which I didn't have, though if I had some get up and go, I might enjoy practicing a little Spanish even now. Clare knows some Spanish, but I think she'd run from me if wanted to practice. And my friend, Nancy, spent several months with a Central American family, trying to hone her Spanish skills. She does not have good facility for language, but was always trying to learn them, partly because she traveled everywhere. I really admired her efforts, but sadly, Italian and French were a bust, too. I don't think she'd like to practice Spanish with me, either. Jennifer I don't know anything about Francis' growth habits, but if those were two Austins planted together that closely in my garden, SW Idaho, zone 7, they would eat each other alive, except maybe, Munstead Wood. Mine have gotten quite large but are kind to their mutual neighbor, Twilight Zone. The Meilland roses I grow are pretty big, too, but I don't grow many. I love them, though. Kitty, do you parlez with Anastasia? Diane...See Morezack_lau z6 CT ARS Consulting Rosarian
