Wow! These are beautiful. The roses are beautiful, but also, the greenery looks so healthy.

Very nice! Your JC is beautiful - my two Julia Child's are still pretty small.

LOVE Eden but I'm afraid to try it here; I'm afraid the blooms will all ball. You will have a very lovely spot to sit when yours gets even bigger!

What's wrong with my Julia Childs, pics
Q
Comments (6)
I suggest you take a closer look at where your plant has those leaves. I don't think there's anything wrong with your rose, which looks quite healthy. I suspect those are normal senescent leaves. At a certain point in the growing season, roses that are putting on a lot of new growth will kill off the leaflet below the bud eye where new laterals are growing, as well as some small leaflets at the base of some laterals. Where flowers were borne and the plant not deadheaded a certain way, any 3-leaflet leaves right below the spent bloom will also die as a lower lateral emerges. I am seeing plenty of those yellow leaves in my garden right now. It's a sign of new growth above. Roses are thrifty and are thought to reabsorb nutrients from their leaves before they drop off. It will fall off on its own, or you can blast it with a hose and it will wash off.

Double Delight and Julia Child
Q
Comments (10)
Renee, your garden is very Eden-esque, dare I say even heavenly :-) DDs are so decadent that they almost make you feel guilty just looking at them. It's like you're glad they don't have one of those satisfaction per viewing labels on the side to inform you that you've exceeded your daily recommended dose. Once you've exceeded that you have to go and buy another one for yourself. I don't want to boast or nothing but fortunately I have a lot of will power and only have several ;-) I love the mellow yellows and those semps are to die for. We have some originals from my late MIL. She's been gone since '84 and they are still thriving.

Julia Child's Scrapple Recipe
Q
Comments (7)
I'm a homemade scrapple lover, and I think the recipe sounds really good. I know I've posted before about making scrapple from the Thanksgiving turkey carcass and all the bits and pieces of leftover meat. I never cared for soup make from leftover turkey, so when a friend told my mom & I about making scrapple, we were sold. I realize my version is not authentic PA Dutch scrapple, but it's sure tasty. No mystery meats or organs, just turkey scraps. Lots of "jell" because of the long simmering of the carcass and saved bones. The biggest difference between what I do and Julia Child's recipe is that I don't add eggs and don't bake it. I bet the eggs and baking make it quite firm. I may have to try that some time. Ann, thanks for posting the recipe. I'm going to save it for the next time I have a turkey carcass to deal with. Or maybe just go ahead and use homemade, salt-free sausage. Scrapple is one of my husband's favorite breakfasts.

New to roses and this forum. Just got my first...Julia Child roses
Q

Pretty petals...500 roses! I have en entire back yard that doesn't have a single flower/shrub, etc., ..but I'm pacing myself. :-) Rose_crazy - the soil is all that but there are still chunks of that deep red sticky clay. I can't recall any place that has yellow roses down here....but I have seen other bush roses (nothing this pretty I don't think!) Let's hope they adapt and I can keep the happy! Diane...thank you! The yellow/purple combo has become my favorite and my son had no idea when he bought the Get Mees. He just knew I needed plants and his "new tradition" he said was going to be to buy perennials each year. (I like that tradition!) Your Get Mees look great. Sylvia - we'll have to swap notes as we go. When did you plant yours? How's she doing? Sheila-I hope you do, too! :-) I hope I do, too! Thanks for the welcome, all!

What lovely, happy, and healthy roses! Thank you for sharing.

If I had to make a guess on your peony, I'd say it's "Cora Stubbs." I have one that looks a lot like it.

Thanks so much for your kind comments! I bought the arbor a few years ago at Big Lots. They have the best prices on stuff like that. I think I only paid 80 for it (it was on sale).

The clematis are just the regular blue ones Walmart and Lowe's sell. It may be called Dr. Huey.

Julia Child is my best performing rose because it's very blackspot resistant, has a wonderful scent, and it's always in bloom.
