After looking at the pictures I'm going to take a pass on Mystic Beauty. I prefer the tighter quartering of SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON. The cultivar that I got from the Antique Rose Emporium has never grown backwards on me. Yes she is only three feet tall but blooms constantly, has good black spot resistance (one of the last roses to get it in my garden), and is shade tolerant to boot. Balling hasn't been a problem since I learned how to coax the buds open. Now if only I can get my hands on her deeper pink sport CAPITAINE DYEL DE GRAVILLE. From the pics I've seen the quartering is better than with Leveson Gower and the deep pink color is richer in tone. Patrick Image by Hamp (oldbush) previously posted at the Antique Roses Gallery.

Quite possibly the WORST company I have ever dealt with. You would be better off purchasing your cabinets from Home Depot - you will get better customer service, warranty, and quality. Showplace cabinetry is of inferior quality and the "Lifetime Warranty" is useless. If you decide to purchase from this company do yourself a favor and take video while your cabinets are removed from packaging and document everything. NOT that this will help you in the end because Showplace will blame the installer and you for using the wrong cleaning products (BTW -the only thing I ever used to clean my cabinets is a damp microfiber cloth). In response to our warranty addressing the inconsistent spray and overall fogginess of our black painted cabinets, the Showplace rep Cheryl Eisenman responded "Worn paint, what have they been using to clean this? Her first response is to blame the client instead of getting to the root cause of their own crappy product. You think they would be concerned if this is the final result they are actually sending to the client. The only representative from Showplace I have been able to actually speak to was the local rep Jason Heiner, he actually came to our home to view the issues for himself. Jason acknowledged the majority of the issues our dealer/installer brought to the attention of the warranty department. I had hoped that since their own rep witnessed the problems it would be resolved. In the end, the majority of our claim was denied. I contacted Jason and he reached out to the head of Customer Relations Kerry Hayes and indicated I would be receiving a phone call from her. Weeks later, no phone call, I contacted Jason again. Here is his texted response....."Showplace has made the decision and passed it on to your dealer and it is now between YOU and the DEALER. Showplace communicates only with their dealer base only. Please reach out to him going forward." All I can say to that is WOW! So basically, screw you. You are at the mercy of the dealer. Our dealer failed to submit our claim within their 1-year policy. How is this the client’s fault?? Are their "specially trained" DEALERS not an extension of their company?? They do NOT stand behind their product or the dealers that they choose to do business with. Our cabinets were delivered in March of 2021 and we here we are 2 years later and none of our warranty items have been replaced. The one item that was sent was of no better quality than the original product. The pictures speak for themselves. WORST experience ever, appalling BAD customer experience.

I have two comments, for what they are worth. We have Carlisle Random Width Wide Plank Eastern White Pine in our home, because we wanted it to look original, and we expected scratches and dings to become a part of it. We are very happy with it. It's a floor that is supposed to look worn. We have handscraped cherry countertops in our kitchen. Near the sink, where the ridges sometimes hold water, it discolors the wood. The ridges become gray streaks, at least for a few hours before it dries out. So you may want to think about that if you would use it in say, a doorway, where you might have puddles or snow or whatever. HTH Here is a link that might be useful: Our floors dont look like this yet, but they will someday

I can't imagine that would be ideal anyway since you have a lot of moisture on most countertops - if not in the actual prep/cooking process, at the very least during clean up when you are wiping off the counter. I don't think that's a good idea at all, even if it would be allowable per code. That being said, this photo from Houzz shows a way that might work if you wanted something mounted low and would be particularly helpful if you don't have upper cabinets to hide it under. Still, I think it's significantly more visible (and not terribly attractive) done this way than hiding it under the upper cabinets. You would need to do custom cabinets AND you need to plan for this during your layout phase...you'll need to talk with the cabinet maker and your electrician to make sure that they are on board and that it's to code.
