Hi love this post, keep it coming. Here's a crazy question anyone considered some sort of chilled grow room instead of a greenhouse a coldhouse to simulate chilling hours. The link is a grow tent (https://www.gorillagrowtent.com/) may be costly for us hobbyist but commercially.

Hi, thanks for reading my message Joan!!! I posted a new thread, and put new photos in my flickr gallery. I've moved 60 rooted cuttings outside, to grow on in 1 litre pots. I think the odd night time freeze will finish off those d*mn aphids. I've had plenty of blooms indoors, but the plants were weakened by aphids, and so my plans to take cuttings from cuttings did not materialize. IFF I had not aphids and IFF I had no spider mites, then I would have had a few more survivors, AND I would have had much stronger plants. Keeping plants up close to fluorescent lights keeps the temperature nice and warm, which is GREAT for growth, but also GREAT for aphid proliferation!!! Do's and don'ts: Do mix 50:50 sand with the promix, at least in the upper half of your peat pot (3 or 4 inch peat pots). Roots will form nicely, and the stems will not rot (turn black). It is good if the cutting is surrounded by the sand promix mixture. I use a nail to poke a hole in the medium, and use a syringe to drizzle in a measure of rooting get into the planting hole. Do stick 2 cuttings per pot, because if one dies, you're still fine. If two make it, use a knife and fork to divide. Do use a bit of no-damp or some kind of fungicide in the medium. Do not use too strong of a fluorescent light initially and do not keep the lights too close to the trays, until roots have formed and the cuttings can actually use that amount of light. Do keep a humididome on, and gradually crack open the vent as the cuttings develop roots, which will happen within 4 weeks. Do use semi ripe wood, almost all of this year's growth can be submitted for cuttings, as long as the wood is mature enough that prickles will snap off if bent : you can take cuttings from wood that has developed flower buds, you do not have to wait for the flower to open and die, unless you wish to see the bloom. Do use short cuttings, one basal bud, and one apical leaf, so you will have TONS of rooted cuttings, and you will stretch your stock. Do snap off the prickles below the ground level - callus forms wherever the prickles have broken off, and you will have tons of roots. Controversial: I did NOT do any wounding, just snapped off the prickles as above. DO: Jump on any first sign of aphids, and keep spraying every few days with insecticidal soap. DO NOT: mix alcohol with Neem oil: You will kill your cuttings: I killed off plenty :( Do keep your rooted cuttings under 24/7 continuous light for the duration, they will grow fantastically, have good strong roots and thick stems with nice leaves. DO NOT believe anyone who tells you roots only grow during the night time. During the initial four weeks, I used a timer with lights on 18 hours and off for 6 hours, because that may be good for endogenous rooting hormone production, and the cycling of temperatures is good, but after 4 weeks, my cuttings then had NO NIGHT exposure, and grew abundant roots and good strong stems and leaves and flowers. Also DO read George Mander's advice, that is where I learned how to take cuttings, but I do a few things different: No wounds, but besides that just about everything else similar: Do keep the temperature between 70-75 degrees F, although up to 80 is acceptable, and I keep my lights on 24/7 after the initial 4 week rooting period. Best of luck, minis are really easy to root, as is the English rose Fair Bianca, which is what I mainly like, since it is hardy, reliable, fragrant, and the stems are flexible so that the bush can be encourages to spread by Layering, and one plant will eventually give you a nice big patch :) Paul Mozarowski Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures of my 5 month old rooted cuttings, taken in November, and grown indoors, now placed outdoors to grow on in 1 litre pots.

I asked my friend what email program he is using. Here is his reply:" I use an integrated browser and email package called "Seamonkey", which is Firefox and Thunderbird rolled into one. Although it is supposed to be 100% compatable with IE and others, it isn't. Some sites are programmed so narrow for IE that it is difficult for Seamonkey and others. I usually save jpg, wmv, and others to my "My Videos" folder and then go there and double click on a particular one. I'm going to get up to date on the plugins for Seamonkey and see if that helps. Windows tries to make it difficult for other browsers in an effort to get them to switch over. Some of my wife's friends have issues as well. I have been thinking about switching to Firefox and Thunderbird to see if it makes any difference. Sorry for any inconvenience." Perhaps there is some information there to explain what is happening. What say?

I too like my privacy and was amazed that this is possible without opting in. Based on your post I went to Photos/Options/People tagging. There it showed that I was allowing others to view but I dragged the pointer down to "Just me" and saved, now these are not visible to others. Then I went to Options/Privacy/Advanced and see other things to be edited to control my privacy. Remember to save after changing of course. Here is the info on deleting your photo. You might find one or two other snippets of interest there for Skydrive. I found this after writing the first part of my reply.
