I've had the best luck in the late summer/ fall. However, then you have to find a place to store your roses until spring. I kept mine under lights. If anyone wants to trade rooted cuttings, let me know! I like multi colored, striped, and old English type roses.

Isn't the second one hilarious? I posted that over on The Kitchen Table the other day, got it in an email from my sister-in-law in California. I've watched it over and over and laugh out loud every time.

Pretty interesting video. for some reason I kept thinking of ZZ Top, and the Grateful Dead ;) It is amazing how dedicated people are to Hosta, and how willingly the innovators struggle along making new plants. I can't imagine the area of garden, and record keeping it must take to wait out the maturity of the new plants.

Fran, I haven't watched the clip yet, but is it from the show Frozen Planet that was on on Sunday? That was an awesome show. I think there's 4 more episodes also. Anyone that can should try and watch them.
