Hi, My Mojave about 27 years old. A very pretty rose in color combination of a sunset. My plant about 6 feet high, no problem with disease, and had a dozen blossoms couple weeks ago. At moment, I also have Mojave cuttings that I am trying to root. Mojave is a nice hardy rose, and I think that you will like it. Jim

Squeakmommy (cool name!), Very pretty sequence of photos! My youngest daughter (18) says she doesn't like flowers (I know it's cuz her dad and I spend so much time doting on them!) But CORAL is her favorite color. She would LOVE your Mojave! I have beautiful oriental lilies with that name. Thanks for posting your pictures! :0) Phyl

Kate -- I do not know much about Akebono. I recently became interested in Japanese roses after falling for Mikado and looking into the history of the hybridizer. (even though Akebono and Mikado have different hybridizers) That's one thing I just love about roses, all have a story and there is so much to learn. I looked up the minis on the Kordes site (the label said it was a Kordes rose) and I think it is Pink Poetry Kordana. Lothlin -- Yeah, George Burns makes quite a statement! Grimaldi is loaded with blooms, so even though the opened form isn't my favorite, the splashes of color make it a keeper! Sara-Ann -- thank you! I was surprised at how nice the Dick Clark bush looked on only it's second year. Jim -- thanks! I am a huge fan of the striped roses. They always put on such a show!

Sharon, great pictures! Here are a few of my Ms. I will post the misc pictures and then plants. M is for Mulching my flowerbeds. I like to use flax shives. They are easy to work with, lightweight, look good and are an excellent barrier to weed seeds. Here is one of the new hosta beds that I planted up last summer/fall, mulched. This Mirror is at my cousinÂs place. It is made of old barn boards. Here are the muffins I make for my sons. Each are the size of 4 regular muffins. Moly Allium I have had for years and years. Each year it blooms better than the year before. I wasnÂt sure where I should put these next two daylilies in our Far North alphabet. So, I decided that since they are Montfort daylilies without names from their own crosses at Montfort, I would put them into the MÂs. So, here is 02-39 Montfort daylily. I love the way the petals curl back on itself. Here is the second no name daylily that I bought from Montfort...99-C1. Mae Graham Daylily Malaysian Monarch Daylily Maria Tillsbury Daylily Maymont Double Daylily Milk Chocolate Daylily Mini Pearl Daylily Musical Interlude Daylily Michailovskyi Fritillaria has a much smaller flower than I expected. But, it is really different, the deer did not eat it and it bloomed for a long long time. Mayan Moon Hosta before the deer ate it. Maui Moonlight Iris, IB Maya Mint Iris, MDB Ming Iris, IB Madame Lily Mahogany Bells martagon Lily Mango Lily Merry Spring Lily Music Art Lily Margery Fish Lungwort Monkshood. This is one I got at a garage sale years and years ago. Mona Lavender Plectranthus I bring into the house and place into the sunroom each fall. It is just starting to put out new growth now. I will probably take a few cuttings off it in the next few weeks. Moss Rose Portulaca is another annual that I bring in the sunroom for the winter. Miss Willmott Potentilla Monarch's Velvet Potentilla was new in 2007 and somehow I missed taking a picture of its flowers. I have just over half a dozen kinds of the Morden series of roses. Here is a couple pictures I took last summer... I love the little rose buds on the Morden Blush Rose. Morden Ruby Rose is planted near the walkway between the house and greenhouse, where I walk all the time. I love it there. I have a Blue Boy clematis planted next to it and they look great together.
