Comments (3)Carla......this is my 2nd Incantation. The one I got last year never quits blooming. You should treat yourself. I am sure you have a birthday or something coming up??? Aha! Valentines Day! Jeri on another post raved about SGMC so I am excited to get that. Have a young Darlow's Enigma, looking forward to seeing it take off this spring. I am SO ready for spring!! I have tiny buds on 3 roses already - Hermosa, Aunt Margy's Rose and a band I ordered last fall - Callisto. This has already bloomed - lovely pale yellow. It is itching to bloom - and I think it will be a dynamite rose when I grow it out....See MoreFirst order from Rogue Valley is great!
Comments (17)Hello Michelle, Believe me, we did not intend for this to happen; we have a firm guarantee policy on misidentified roses. I am not sure why this was not more adequately followed up with you and I apologize for that! Distant Drums is notoriously hard to propagate from cuttings. The few plants that we do get to root sell out very quickly so not having a replacement plant available to send is probably the problem. In that case we should have issued you a refund. Please contact us so that we can clear this up. I would have sent you an email just now instead of posting here, but kept getting the message that I needed your password.

Comments (23)Hi Strawberryhill: I wonder where Khalid is??? It seems slightly cooler than here but close. I attempted Abbaye de Cluny about 8 years ago; she always looked ivory, and then burned horribly in late May. Instead I grew Brandy and Just Joey, which did not have the attributes of ADC, but they held color and did not burn. I usually look to the Phoenix gardeners to see if something can take the heat because I have found that 105 degrees is very different than 115, or 121, and AZ is one place I have found that deals with extreme heat and even more persistent high temperatures that relentlessly delve near or into the 120's. July and August are our brutal months. It hit 122 in the city yesterday and it is still June. It is often in the 100's beyond midnight, was already 95 at 7 a.m. Wednesday, but all of this is coupled with drought conditions. The one hundred teens to 120's are the norm for 2+ months straight; it is dreadful. It would be great to discover other specific places that also deal with the heat and drought as we do because their plant selections could be more suitable for my area. This is an odd place to garden. Unlike Phoenix, it gets too cold to grow cactus without winter protection. Las Vegas could be a top contender for the "where not to live" places if you are an avid gardener and want to grow a wide range of annuals, perennials, roses and other plants in a garden. I read the thread, and saw the lovely photos and am eyeing Excellenz von Schubert... again... that is if we move. The Marie Pave took my breath away. There is also an abundance of information that I really need to siphon through and decipher in terms of my situation; especially related to the horse manure and termites. We do not have big termite issues here; unlike California, a termite inspection with a home purchase was standard protocol, but we could be moving my newly purchased and potted roses to the PNW, and that changes things. I really appreciate your advice because it is fundamental and I believe wise as the focus should also be the biological environment inclusive of soil and its components. I have a hunch that your input and advice may prove to be invaluable for me. This post was edited by desertgarden561 on Sun, Jun 30, 13 at 16:18...See MoreMy Rogue Valley Roses order arrived..
Comments (35)Your Comice de Tarn-et -garonne is gorgeous, Micheal! Thank you for posting these pictures. I like seeing what Comice can do. I received a mature Comice from someone this past January, and we had to cut it WAY back to dig it up and transport it home. It’s finally starting to recover from the move. My Comice is sending up new growth and a random bloom here and there. I can’t wait for my Comice to bloom as much as yours! Isn’t the fragrance wonderful? Here’s a picture of one of Comice’s blooms, 4 days ago. I hope to see as many blooms as you have! Lisa...See Moremlle_melanie
