Creative Crown WOW! I just received that I had a comment from Houzz. It is incredible the fire storm that this page has started. I just want everyone to know that we have no ill feeling against anyone. Everyone is entitled to their say. Just tell the truth. Have you purchased our product before? So should you comment? I just want to say that we due care about everyone if you have bought from us or not. I know some of the people that have made a comment on this blog. They have purchased from us before and I thank you for their support. This all started with a bash from a customer. They were having some problems installing our moldings. They did not make any attempt to contact us for help. They could have called our toll free number or emailed us and we would have more than happy to have helped them. We would have spent as much time as they needed to assisted them. We have about 30 youtube videos about our product on anything you could ask about. I always take the time to call a company and try to get help if I have a problem with a product. We are a family own business and everyone's business is appreciated. We have the only "molded foam crown molding in America" It is a good product that is easy to install and is a high quality. It is Patent Pending. We did not mean to insult anyone with our earlier post. I hope this puts an end to all of the bickering and we use Houzz for what it was designed for. It is a great website and I enjoy surfing around on it. I love it for home ideas. Thank you so much Houzz. Thank you! God Bless! Owner of Creative Crown 855 633 2125

Thanks for posting this info StarCraft. I went with Cifial's Highlands wall mount faucet and shower trim (Hansgrohe hand shower) and couldn't be happier with the combination of quality, value and style. I had to defend my decision with nearly every bath showroom salesperson I met. But thanks to your research that was easy!

IT. BLOOMED. I can't even describe how thrilled I am this happened. And the scent is incredible. Trademark gardenia but this one has a distinct tropical quality. I'm over the moon. I'm sure the rainy, humid spring weather we've been having in FW this year has helped. I'm still quite new to gardening and have failed at attempts with an August Beauty and a camellia. I bought this one on a whim, thinking it would die, too. If anyone wants to give gardenias another go, this one is called Crown Jewel. According to one website I read, it blooms on old and new growth, resulting in a heavier bloom set.

Patty - they are not grown at the same farm. Most of the on-line own root nurseries root their own roses then direct stick in bands. They do get some stock from Greenheart at times, but many do their own propagation from stock plants they have on site. We restocked Greenheart with all new cuttings this spring from our stock of Kordes. The reason to do this is to make sure the genetics are still fresh and to make sure we have clean stock every 2 years or so. We and Greenheart spend a lot of time and $ on the project. rifis yes I mean roses. We grow about 5 acres of stock and research roses. We do harvest plants to send to growers that need the genetics, to introduce new varieties and to send for testing and/or to botanical gardens. This is when we are looking for the galls. We also have had materials tested at Oregon State for crown gall in stems too. Patty I do not know how you received so many plants. I am still not clear on where you bought the plants with gall. Sounds like it was pretty variety specific. Please understand that crown gall exists in a very wide range of soils in N. America. The contamination could of happened anywhere in the chain of production. It can also exist in garden soils. It has always been a problem in roses. That said producers need to use the very best clean plant techniques to minimize the problem but I do not believe it can always be 100% prevented.
