New to the garden this spring

Hi Robert: I love that peaceful picture that you posted, it does look like an oasis as Seil described. I have the herb rosemary here but my cooking is so bad that I need some tips on how to use rosemary in cooking (I tried on steamed salmon and it wasn't that good). I'm temped by Louis Odier, it's hardy to zone 5a - I'm too lazy to peg and wonder if Krista grows it as a free standing shrub, or does it need pegging on a trellis or wall in zone 5a? Hi lizalily in PNW: I took own-root Firefighter from my Rose Unlimited since I want to get it grafted instead. Hot Cocoa is always in bloom at the rose park nearby, zone 5a. This winter is mild, and I'm hoping for another mild winter. The last 2 winters were brutal, my Knock-outs died back to the crown. Does anyone know if winter 2012-2013 will be mild like this year? If so, then I'll add more Meilland roses like Pink Peace, Peter Mayle along with Melody Perfume and Firefigher (I believe these 2 are low-in-thorns?) Thank you.

I'm excited about a lot of roses this Spring: I'm finally allowing myself to acquire Lady Hillingon...we'll see if there is enough heat for her here. Even if it's a failure, I'm going to try. Jenny Duval: I don't care if she has a terrible reputation for suckering- the color of the flowers is worth it, and maybe my clay soil will slow her down a little. I can't wait to see what my band of Gruss an Coburg does: it's putting out all kinds of new growth! In October, I rescued two beat up and abandoned 5-gallon pots of 'New Zealand'. The color and scent are lovely, and I think it's the kind of "Modern" hybrid tea that should make some people think twice about "no moderns" snobbery. I'm also VERY excited to see the Spring behavior of the 5-gallon plant of Zephirine Drouhin which I was given to me last summer. I've never grown her before, and I've read a lot of complaints about stingy re-bloom, but mine had flowers on it all through August, September and October. Basically, I'm just excited about all roses, all year long.

The 'special' qualities of OGRs worth it?

In my eyes, where beauty is the beholder, Old Garden Roses have beauty in leaf, flower and bush, that many (not all) modern roses often lack, These "special qualities" are exactly why I grow mostly Old Roses. If there were a modern rose that had the ultra-healthy, attractive blue-green leaves, and a large golden boss within a blossom of perfect white petals, and had the Alba type fragrance I crave, I might grow it, though modern, along with Alba-Semi-Plena. But it would also have to have a magificent quality that Alba Semi Plena lacks. I've often wondered why A.S.P. isn't used in more breeding programs because of its superb health. -If Hybrid Tea roses had the leafy growth habit, faster re-bloom and "exquisite delicacy" of bloom style, of the Old Garden Tea roses, I'd choose more than c. 5% H.T.s to grow, but as it is there are no H.T.s that bloom as often as a Tea rose, and fewer H.T.s have the pretty growth habit of a Tea. -Scotch Roses have a fern like character to their leaflets that I've rarely seen in roses of other classes. -No other rose class comes close to blooming as often as a China, through such a long bloom season. In January when all the modern rose beds, in a nearby public rose garden are bereft of bloom as well as leaf, I look to the China rose beds where rosebushes are blooming as if it were May. I do feel fortunate to live in an area where many Old Garden Roses thrive. Lux.

Because it's fun! Because last year we had a Storyline thread going, where we made up a story. There were regular contributors on that one. To see what people know. (I was stuck on the museums) To see how long we run out of ideas to ask. Oh, oh, I did. To see if we can always come up with 5 answers. Name 5 places you've LIVED.

Charm Crest China was made in Japan, not too long ago....before the era when so much of our goods are imported from China. As I recall that would be the 1980's. They are not antique, nor were they expensive when new, often offered as a premium in grocery store with a certain amount of purchase.
There are always a few items listed on eBay so checking there for a month or so for sold items should get you a pretty good idea of what they might sell for.

I have Charm Crest Mayfair for my "best" dishes, but secretly I think they are the prettiest (don't tell my red and white transferware that I said that :^)
They were sold at Grants and maybe Penneys in the mid to late 1950's. They look beautiful on the table with my white damask cloth and napkins!! If you are going to sell any of your dishes, I would like to know about it! Just email me through my page!
