I am SO proud of these blooms!

I've been nurturing this rose bush for a while now, and it just gave me an entire bush full of these stunning blooms! I had to cut two to bring them inside!

Oh, I just went thru this waiting period with impatience, and finally the great day arrived!!! Today I have lots of trumpets and my patio smells like heaven - I think. (I don't know what heaven smells like). You will be rewarded soon!

I learned a great deal from my MIL and one of the biggest lessons I learned from her canning was to be willing to change. I still remember when the instructions for added acid in tomatoes was introduced. She was the one who told me. Your mother is a wise woman and what a compliment to you that she sets so much store on your knowledge. I believe it's possible to honor the best of the old ways while allowing for new research and updated methods. Carol

You bet he'll get extra hugs and kisses! When he heard us talking about it, he asked what we meant by saying the kids didn't have anything. When we explained that thier house had burned down and everything in the house burned too, even thier toys and clothes, he got real quiet for a few minutes. Later, when DD started cleaning the bed, he started looking thru his own things to donate. DD was only going to give away the 2T clothes, because he's wearing the 5's. He's a pretty special kid. A couple of years ago, his other grandma bought a toy for the not forgotten box for Christmas. He thought he was getting it. That was his first lesson in charity. He is learning by example. He even donated one of his extra winter coats, as we are supposed to still get some chilly weather. Tami

Great! Now we can hear more of the "Annie Chronicles" that we've been missing. There is an old saying: "To have a friend, be a friend." You have been a friend to many, so now you are being rewarded. You are going to have so much fun (and some frustrations) learning all that you can do. I learn new things constantly and you will too. If I had to make a choice between my PC or TV I would definitely keep the PC. One suggestion. Use the CompHelp Forum any time you have a problem or question. There are knowledgeble helpers there. In fact, even after 12 years of having a computer, I go there first thing each day before going anywhere else. That way I can read about anything new that is important to keeping my PC healthy. I hope you will have everything set up the way you want it and start that book! We will all be glad to edit and proof it for you! Sue Here is a link that might be useful: CompHelp

OMG! Those are gorgeous!!! Every right to be so proud. They are beautiful! How is the scent? I was looking at that rose to possibly replace a couple I am planning on shovel pruning in the winter.

It has a very nice, mild scent. I've noticed that as the bloom matures, the scent tends to fade a little. I definitely garden this one for beauty!

Those are so beautiful--rich and full blooms just like I imagined Boscobel would be. If only I had some room left in my gardens!

These are swoonworthy! With a name like Boscobel I didn't expect these stunners. My kind of rose!

Interesting! I planted 3 Boscobels this spring, which have been covered with blooms, but none of them open like yours. They remain cupped. Do you suppose our New England humidity accounts for that?

Uuughh, if I could do pink in my garden, I would do that one most certainly.

Ingrid, I agree that 'Boscobel' isn't a terribly romantic name, but imagine how I felt when the first Austin rose I fell for was 'Mortimer Sackler'. Named for a wonderful person, I imagine, but not the most romantic-sounding name...
