Jim and for anyone who wants to lessen any thrips damage, another option is that I have used hot wax pepper spray just on the outside of the bud while it is developing and before it opens. This seems to protect most of the flowers By only spraying the outer bud, my hope is that the bees will still visit, since only the sepals and green are being sprayed and not the inside parts of the flower. I will still get a few markings on some blossoms, but for the most part it can alleviate things about 70%-100% clear depending on the color of the rose. The biggest concerns is that I am scaring off the bees with this hot wax pepper-- I haven't seen the native bees rolling in the pollen only landing and then taking off and it's important that bees have a good food source to survive. This is the reason why I leave my companion plants alone to help feed the bees and later when I get more prolific blooms I will try to "share" more unsprayed blossoms with them. I am truly hoping that by getting a prolific rose like Lyda, they cluster, and thus no one would be able to tell that my roses are being eaten by thrips since all they'll see is a wall of pink and white, LOL! Another creative idea is to tie a bamboo pole (the ones seen at Home Depot, etc) and suspend a few wax paper cups from it and put yellow or blue sticky traps inside; cover the open cups with some netting from a fabric store rubber-banded in place and letting the miniscule thrips get inside.. The netting should be small enough that ladybugs can't get in and neither can the bees.

A little something a bit more positive.

That Ginkgo (Troll) was very very early. I just got it last year, and it was HEAVILY fertilized, and that may have helped push it out of dormancy. However, our Princeton Sentry was leafing out (much earlier than all our other Ginkgo except for 'Troll"), but it got frozen last night. It has been early every year, and gotten frozen every year but one since we have had it. Alas this mornings 18F may have gotten it for good though. Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. As noted above, there was a severe freeze at my home this morning. No doubt considerably damaged or perhaps killed many of our plants. However those you see in the pictures above are just fine. All are in containers that were moved to safety. Arktrees This post was edited by arktrees on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 8:44

The OP has probably long since picked a color, but to answer the question, I would suggest BM Stonington Gray.

Lavender Aristocrat looks pink on my monitor, rather than lavender, but I'd love to have that clump anyway, since it's puting on such a great show!

As always, love your pics!

I like Good Old Boy, my favorite here, with inherited Wealth nosing in, but each one is great. I may look back in later & have a completely different favorite, I tend to be fickle. Thanks for sharing!

Rick, IH is a favorite of mine as you may know. I didn't take clump shots of her cause she has a sickness. She has all these little white tag looking things hanging on her.. GOB is going to be my other pick. He will open your eyes for sure. All the pix are lovely. Ellie
