Hi Krista: Your bouquets made my day. Thank you! They look like paintings that lift my spirit. I love Jacques Cartier with the button-hole. I enjoy your pics. very much. My sister in Southern CA informed me that a contagious disease wiped out her garden, including Annie L. McDowell. I think it's downy mildew. She lives near the coast. My heavy clay retains salt well, so I keep track of salt-index of fertilizers. CA dry climate with saline water is worse, that can shoot up one's blood pressure, plus wreck havoc on plants. I put too much Jobes organic fertilizer NPK 2-7-4 (bone meal, sulfate of potash, etc) into the planting hole of Gruss an Teplitz. It broke out in mildew instantly. So I put soluble gypsum on Gruss. That took away 80% of the mildew, amazing. Gypsum is used to de-salt saline soil or water. Gypsum salt-index is 8, so I gave Gruss "banana water" made by soaking chopped up banana peels NPK 0-3-42, very high in potassium and no salt. I let it soak for a few days, and watered Gruss with that. That helped! My husband is a marathon runner .. I don't run, but read his running magazines. In one study, volunteers were divided into 3 groups: fed low-salt diet, and low-potassium, fed high-salt diet, and high-potassium with lots of bananas, and a control group. Surprisingly, the group with high-salt and high-potassium had better blood-pressure than the group with low-salt and low-potassium diet. That's why they always feed runners bananas after the race .... This post was edited by Strawberryhill on Mon, Jul 29, 13 at 12:45

Please use 2007 March Rose list. Thank You, Ron S

Jeri, Corection will be made as noted. And thank you for using an old post. Thanks again, Ron Schwerdt

Jeri J, Thank you for bringing to my attention, a correction in the October 2005 “AEN” supplementary “Rose” List. Should a correction be noted on ARS or my part, the correction will be addressed in a following post. The November post will reflect a correction, removing the name Bevoniensis from the list. As stated in the header, the primary purpose of the “Supplement Rose List” is to compliment the 2005 AEN, by address Corrections / Additions / Deletions a continuing process. Devoniensis is listed in the 2005 AEN, indicating eligibility for Dowager Queen (the reason it was originally included); therefore its removal from the list is in order. Happy Holidays.
