thank you for the fast responses.after hearing,i did look a little on ebay at navajo rugs......saw such a wide range from $30 to 1500....this one looks old with some staining and wear.so may not be very desirable. i know a local person he runs big auctions on proxybid.i may give it to hime and see if it lands somewhere on the food chain.....not expecting much myself.but i guess will find out.thanks again to all.

Angela, I'm in agreement with RoseCanadian. I also see no Rose Rosette Virus symptoms on the rose in the photo, none. Sorry for your experience so far with this dreaded disease. I got my introduction to RRV last fall of 2022. Two venerable old bushes, a Quietness and the climber, Lady Ashe got it. Never had it before then, ever, and it has not reared its ugly head so far, a year later now. I planted a Queen of Elegance pretty much directly in the spot where the Quietness grew. The Quietness was dug up in September, 2022, and the Queen of Elegance was planted in May, 2023. It grew slowly but steadily all season long, and has shown no signs of RRV to this day. The climber, Lady Ashe, was discovered to be infected in only one single growing tip, far out from the crown, about 7' out. No other place on the bush showed any signs what so ever. I pruned the infected growth out last fall then, hoping that would be sufficient. A particularly severe Polar Vortex hit twice last winter and killed most of my roses down to the ground, including Lady Ashe. This past spring diseased growth sprang from the base of Lady Ashe! I was spellbound! There was no way I could dig this Lady Ashe out, its its"trunk," was about 4" across at its base. So I pruned aall the canes as close to the ground as possible and took aa brand new sawsall to it, purchased specifically for this job, and could not sever the roots successfully. Lady Ashe is one tough girl! My only recourse was to herbicide spray the growth which was less than a foot high. It succumbed immediately. That was done this past spring, 2023. I feel confident that by spring, 2024, no further growth will be seen and I can say confidently that the likelihood of any RRV remaining in the dead Lady Ashe is remote to none. My advice to you is to keep diligently aware of your roses' state of growth. Nip any further/future RRV symptoms in the bud, no pun intended, and continue growing roses. That's what I and most RRV victims have done. Take heart! Moses

Your shower base has a flange so you install your base, you install Hardie backer, or whatever you are using as a waterproof tile backer material and you install your tile over it. Here is an example to give you an idea

Jerusalem Artichoke, I would say.
