My wee bubble has been burst. For a lot of the reasons I planted Ebb Tide, I am now discovering here that I planted it in the wrong location! Duh! It was a replacement for my Austin Belle's Story, which was skinny with sparse foliage, I needed something to fill out this space, so picked Ebb Tide, now it looks like Ebb Tide has these attributes. It was newly planted last year, and I love the little purple clusters, but I do not want a skinny bush with sparse leaves there. So now to move it, and pick out another bushier, probably a floribunda for that space, but have you noticed, not too many floribundas have a good fragrance, ugh! and that is very importand to me too! Ah well, put it down to experience, or someone else's experience.:) Pauline

Terry, I haven't tried rooting so far. I have picked rooting powder last week.I would love to try Rooting honeysweet. I have a couple of roses(Lavonde and Amelia renaissance )I like to root also.I went to hoerr nursary with the intention of buying Honeysweet and came home with April in paris .Honey sweet bushes didn't have blooms on them and I like to look at the blooms before buying.I thought I would go back and buy it next week or so.Thanks for offering the cuttings.Have you looked at the wayside sane they are talking about here?I would like to have Buxom beauty and St Patrik.If only I haven't bought four roses(cherry parfait,Janet,Pope john paul and April in paris at the local nusary)I would have taken advantage of the sale. Iam not good at making bushes out of bare root roses .My success with them in the past was low.So I planted them in the pots and had them indoors till May.That is the reason why I had blooms in April .That could be the reason why all the blooms were pale(not enough sunlight).The moolight magic could might bloom with darker color in sun.I plan to put two of them next to each other.I have to work on putting them in the ground soon.Thanks. Dana

They have them at Peninsula Gardens in Gig Harbor. I was there last weekend. I have Ebb Tide and the color is amazing in our climate. Maybe call first if you come out here, it is a great nursery with wonderful plants. They had the new Austins too. If they don't have Ebb Tide just a few miles away is Raft Island Roses, they will probably have it too. Raft Island Roses is an amazing rose nursery with an incredible selection! Good Luck! :o) Raft Island Roses - (253) 853-7900 7201 Rosedale St Gig Harbor, WA They used to have a cool web site, with their complete list but I can't seem to get it to come up.

Hi I frequently shop WM as I MUST help with groceries and it gives me something to look at lol. The secret is to dig lol. Eventually you'll find some really great bargains as well as some unusual types but requires a constant vigil. lol Some that I've gotten there Black bat plants .7 bucks ,flowering size Maxilaria orchids 20 bucks but had 25 flowers in hanging basket. Hybrid Phaius orchids in a very unusual red and brown color. Key lime as well as a pink lemon tree .20 bucks for both. 30 bucks each for the same plants from the same co, at HD. Tree form Hibiscus at over 4 feet for 8. The trick is to know your plants ignore the labels and NEVER expect any help lol. Just recently I was actually waited upon while digging through some palms. Okay the truth is he probably thought I was shop lifting. lol I asked him some questions and he quickly disappeared lol But he did get me a price on some stuff without any threats or lugging all the way to the register. I look it as a "safari" you'll never know what you'll find and better yet I don't have to look at groceries for an hour . gary
