I'd be tempted if not for the line "Above average disease resistance for the type." What the heck does that mean for a Bill Radler rose?

I have been watching a number of female ruby throat hummingbirds, it's been raining for a couple days now, and a lone female ruby throat has started setting on one of the flower petal on the feeder for long lengths, last time for almost 7 minutes in the pouring rain. She has feed about six times during that time, I've never seen this kind of action, of course this is my first year with feeders for both hummingbirds and regular birds. Is this normal behavior, there is no shelter there? she has added hovering in front of the window that's in front of the feeders, it has a reflective coating on the windows to stop heat loss or to prevent heat coming in in the summer. she is testing the window with her beak not really pecking, at first I thought she was lick the water off the window. Looks like she wants in. This post was edited by plantnut65 on Sat, Jul 19, 14 at 23:44

These pictures are all fantastic. I love the variety of hostas being shown. PM2, that 'Fire Island' is just beautiful. I grew up on Long Island and went to Fire Island often, so maybe I'll have to plant one in my garden to remember those fun beach days. Last year I dug out a couple of beds in my cottage garden and planted vegetables for the first time (aside from a handful in pots over the years). I've really enjoyed it (and so has the woodchuck that recently showed up). My brother made me 2 tuteurs that we just put in. It adds to much. I don't often get lucky with H. macrophylla blooming, but I guess the warm winter helped this one out. It has been covered in blooms. With all the rain, the new growth has all but covered them up. I love Ligularia 'Britt Marie Crawford'. This is a flower carpet rose. I'm a big fan of the flower carpet series since they are so disease resistant and japanese beetles don't seem to care for them. I gotta have hibiscus in the late summer garden. Ironweed has a gorgeous purple color. Over the past couple years it has become a rampant reseeder. They're not so easy to pull out! Ironweed and Joe Pye weed comingling. A favorite rest area for the bees. I'm bummed this photo came out blurry. Butterfly bush 'Lo and Behold' does a great job attracting butterflies. The threadleaf plant in front of it is Ironweed 'Iron Butterfly'. Can't wait for it to bloom. There's so much more in bloom now and much more to come. I can't wait for the sweet autumn clematis to burst onto the scene!

I say, three cheers for weeds! at least some of them. This is the area I see from my deck (although I walked down to take the photos). This used to be all lawn with a few oaks and cherries, and I let the steepest part of it go wild with some added plants as a border. I may have relocated a goldenrod there, I don't remember. The white wood asters volunteered first, and then the goldenrod joined in. I like the combination of the asters, goldenrod, and variegated miscanthus. Another volunteer is a pokeberry in my alley by the side of the house (this is a plain old "alley", not a fancy "allee"). Here the pokeberry fruits are hanging over the one sedum I didn't move out.

It means it gets black spot. At least they are being (sort of) honest.

Pretty rose.

One of my pet peeves is lack of hardiness information on many sellers' sites.

But it is too short for my taste and space limitations.

I'll wait until I hear some reviews from growers. I got Winner's Circle this year and was totally underwhelmed by it. After the second bloom and no improvement we gave it away. Yawn...

I got it last spring, so it's still a baby geting settled in its pot. But thus far, I'm not that impressed. When they named it "orchid" something, I was thinking "oh good, we finally have a good disease-free lavender in the Austin/romantica-type bloom form." Not! There are still none of those. Orchid Romance is just a soft pink ruffly florrie, of which there are many, many others. I haven't seen anything all that unique about this one, except Radler's name and reputation for disease-free. I suspect that Star is just trying to capitalize on that.

Lucky thing I didn't listen to the scepticism and Radler envy here. In my garden, Orchid Romance is a remarkable combination of beautiful Austin-like old fashioned blooms, wonderfully strong scent, and iron clad black spot resistance I have dreamed about.

I'm happy to hear that. I just got one for $7 yesterday. I bought it for its good looks and scent and only later found out it was supposed to be disease resistant.

Excellent news, mystery. I saw it this year at the local garden center and it was indeed very pretty.
