I would think that one year is too short a time to cause rose replant problems (unless you are a heavy sprayer and have turned your present soil into a lifeless chemical dump). The following link emphasises the importance of having "live" soil. Here is a link that might be useful: link to âRose Replant Diseaseâ article

(It sounds as if ordering from Hortico is a lot like playing the lottery.) I have the Quest-Ritson book. The photo section alone will blow you away. What a wonderful way to spend time -- a cup of tea and this book. The reason I went to Amazon the other day was to see if I could order Stephen Scaneillo's book. I ordered that one (which came yesterday -- another very good one.) While I was perusing the other rose books, I noticed the G. A. Stevens one (ordered that), and one by William Welch. I don't have the Thomas or Warner books. I guess it's time for me to create an Amazon wish list. I dream of creating a garden of roses over my head and lining the walls. Some of these climbers and ramblers are more than I can resist. I sat the other afternoon and went carefully through the Rogue Valley catalog. After all of the nice things said here about them, I have placed an order, I plan to order a number of roses from them later on. (One I got this time was "Connie's Favorite Gallica". I just had to do it.) I also ordered Emily Gray, and I will try Susan Louise and Erinnerung an Brod. Paul's Lemon Pillar will wait till at least a spring order, and I will also get Paul's Scarlet. (My favorite Aunt grew Paul's Scarlet, and I'll get it in tribute to her.) The photos of Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James are really pretty. I didn't used to like yellow roses much, but I seen to be drawn to them now. I guess we all go through phases. Connie

Hi, I have two books for trade. 1. Heirloom Machine Quilting by Harriet Hargrove 2. Two Hour Teddy Bears by Anita Louise Crane Both books are in excellent condition. I am looking for plants and other things on my Want list. Patti

Do you still have your rose books? I do not have any on your list but have lots of seeds and plants. Sunny
