If the "trunks" of the tall rose really are plural, it's not a tree rose. If the plant seems to be fairly healthy, I would just cut all the canes back, maybe to 1 or 2 feet and then remove maybe a third of the oldest canes all the way back to ground level. If the plant seems really, really old and fragile, you might check out the detailed rejuvenation recipe given by Joel Mattox at the link below. Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Rejuvenation

As far as I know, none of the drift roses are fragrant. IâÂÂm usually somewhat of a fragrance snob, but I do grow both Apricot Drift and Coral Drift due to their compact size and shape, bloom power and disease resistance. I donâÂÂt spray my Drifts at all, and in my garden where even Knockouts will blackspot, my drifts donâÂÂt have any issue with BS. My Coral Drifts will sometimes have a touch of powdery mildew early in the Spring, but they recover quickly without spraying. PM is not a fungal problem I normally have here with roses, so if they get it here, I'm not sure how they would do where PM actually is common. Mine stay less than 3 ft high, nicely rounded and always full of bloomsâ¦perfect for edging beds. They donâÂÂt require pruning and will bloom continually without deadheading (they look better if you deadhead, but I rarely bother with mine and it doesnâÂÂt seem to hinder their ability to keep pumping out new blooms). They are also fairly shade tolerant. HereâÂÂs the Star Roses website with info on their Drift Rose Series: http://www.starrosesandplants.com/drift-roses Apricot Drift: Apricot Drift looking way more pink in cooler weather: Coral Drift always loaded with blooms...deadheading all those spent blooms would be a constant chore:

Posted by michelle_phxaz: It sounds like a few things are not right: -You are drying the sheets at too high a setting. They will be crunchy and wrinkly from being over-dried. Let them dry slower on a cooler setting. I dry them, and everything else I wash, on the lowest heat setting my dryer has AND I have a dryer that has a moisture sensor which I set at the 'less dry' setting every single time. -You are putting too many items in the dryer. I wash my sheets, pillowcases and cotton blanket together but dry the sheets separately. Yes, I do that too. Not only that but I don't even dry two sheets at the same time. Topsheet and two pillow cases first and then bottom sheet and two pillow cases. (Not a typo. I have four pillows on the bed.) It's a PITA to do it that way but if I don't, then they really wrinkle. Even with a non-sheet load of wash, I always break it down and dry in two batches. -You have a cheap quality of sheet. If the edges are curling up it sounds like the hemming is of poor quality and the sheets themselves are made of cheap material. Don't equate price or thread count with quality! Almost all my sheets are Calvin Klein. I love the designs and color palette. A couple are Ralph Lauren. One I know is Nautica. Two are 111State. The rest I don't remember and don't want to run and go and check, but I know that non of them are "No-Name Brand" sheets. I guess I'll have to learn not to by these expensive sheets made of cheap material. I am switching between a set of Wamsutta 400TC Pima Sateen set and 100% beech (modal) sateen at 250TC. Both feel like the softest things you have ever felt, and the beech sheets do wrinkle very quickly if you don't get them out of the dryer, but once on the bed they smooth out perfectly. I hate sateen sheets. I don't like shiny sheets. I like sheets to be crisp and not puddle up on the bed. I like 100 percent cotton. As for the color, you may have to wait until spring. Most stores are carrying winter colors right now, we were in BB&B last night and saw almost no pink sheets. I hate pink. I like my sheets ironed. ------------- You know, sometimes I think I may have some advice for a poster. What I do is try to phrase it with a question first. Oh, something like asking "What setting do you use on the dryer?" or "Have your tired drying in smaller loads?" maybe ask "What brand do you buy?". I gather info before making any proclamations. Maybe I've slipped up a couple times and hopefully no one was offended, but I wouldn't just start barking assumptions at someone. I try not to post any advice without first asking questions and then exploring the issue. Here is a link that might be useful: The Truth About Thread Count

The Kid Room 1 looks like the furniture is limited in size duration once the child is past the age of 5 or so. Have you considered a King size bed for the master? If so, you might not be keeping the same furniture there long-term, either. Kid Room 2's headboard could be recovered in a teen-friendly fabric if you wanted for a color change. I think you should just pick a flooring color that is your favorite and deal with the furniture in the future. Rugs and other decor you might have around the house will mask the flooring color anyway to some degree. I'm not a fan of painting furniture. I had a large chest of drawers for decades that was painted and required repainting several times. The finish was never robust at all, and it had to be handled very carefully and still didn't look the greatest.
