Eloise - nuh uh... no way I'm overwintering these cuttings. I have her trunk in a bucket of water in the basement and hope it will live and root til it can go out in the spring. Karyn - I thought the exact same thing as you did when I heard the name. - gotta be a pink. Nope. lol Shawn - BGI has it listed as a yellow single Enchanted Double White x L'Amour cross. She looks like a cream colored double to me, but what do I know. I'm just a newbie... :) She blooms well and smells lovely even as a cutting....

Mary, sent me a cute card and a nice note with some Formosa Lily seeds in the SS exchange. Thank You!

Harvest??? I'm happy to have plants just producing leaves! Seriously, it's a little early to be harvesting anything here, except for some lettuce, perhaps, which I should have planted earlier than I did. But I'm excited about my vegetables because except for some squash and tomatoes last year these are the first I've grown since Joe and I had to give up the huge vegetable garden we grew for more than 30 years. Soooo . . . I planted lots of yellow crookneck squash, two kinds of zucchini, two kinds of cucumbers, and three kinds of green beans. My "wild and crazy bean experiment" involves my all-time favorite Kentucky Wonder pole beans growing on two stacked tomato cages with string dangling from them to start the vines climbing. My DS shook his head in disbelief when he saw this, but those beans are climbing! I hadn't planned to grow tomatoes this year because I know they increase my joint pain (along with peppers), but after the salmonella scare emerged I thought I should plant some for the kids, at least. So I have three in containers: two Bush Goliath and one Black Cherry. The BC was a gift and will probably get eight feet high and destroy its cage. This should be interesting. Also in containers are Vivian lettuce (a huge romaine) and Swiss chard.

Linda - if you join the web site "Help Me Find Roses", you can find the information about what nurseries are selling this rose. HMF says that it is commercially available, but you have to join to find the extended nursery list. Jackie
