Hi Christine, Right after I posted that message, I had to go out of town on a family emergency. Sadly, when I got back a couple of weeks later, my poor rose had dropped all its leaves. Right now it looks about the same as it did when I first dug it up. I feel terrible about it. I don't think it's completely dead, because if you break off some of the branches, the inside wood still looks a little green. But it sure doesn't look very well. If your friend still wants to take a chance on it, I would be happy to deliver it wherever, and also throw in a bag of Slow-Release Miracle-Gro that I can't use anymore since I moved to the condo. If you want to pick it up, I live in Bethesda; is that anywhere near you?

I'm hoping for a good season, too. After getting tired of reality TV, I missed several seasons, including the ones with Rupert and Boston Rob/Amber. I'm going to guess that Coach and Russell will attempt to team up, but they won't be able to abide one another. Can't wait to see what happens. LOL I've always like Cirie. Froms jenni's link, Rupert has the most fan votes with Russell not far behind him and JT. Coach has very few votes!

I can't wait. But please everyone remember that those of us on the West Coast don't see it until several hours later plus there are some that watch later online or dvr. No spoilers please. Or start a thread titled spoilers so we can avoid it.

Oh my gosh, both my sister and I are mid-remodel of bathrooms. We both chose Kohler Bellweather cast iron tubs. Please keep us updated. Thank you
