Today I recieved my rose order from ValleyK Greenhouses. They pack their roses so much better than Cedar Hollow. Each rose was wrapped in cardboard and they sent 10 roses in 3 boxes so they were easier to handle. They are bigger than the ones that I recieved from them last year with the exception of 2 Marie Bugnet which are quite small. I had a broken rose in this shipment too, but it only broke off half way. There is still leaves left on this rose.That is the only damage from shipping that I can see on this bunch. They look much nicer than my Cedar Hollow roses which are stripped of so many leaves. But one the plus side, most of the roses from Cedar Hollow are srouting out new leaves. I also recived my plants from Dominion House today. I had ordered a bareroot Kaleidoscope. The stem is huge!!! It is starting to send out leaves as well. I ordered some lilacs, clematis, lilies and perennials from them as well. The lilacs and clematis are fine, the lilies are a bit shrivelled, and the perennials are sick. I'm sure some are dead. Honestly, I don't know if I would order perennials from them again. Roses, I would though. I think that they were in the boxes for quite a while, there is lots of white growth. I moved a 5 yr old JP Connell the other day in the rain. It should have been moved sooner because it had flower buds on already. It is really sulking. Oh well, If it doesn't make it, they are easy enough to find to replace. I have quite a few of my older roses with flower buds on. It won't be long before the roses start to bloom!!!! Shelley

Oh I just love your Beary Berry Iris!!!! I would buy that in an instant if I could find it and if it grew here. What a stunner!!! Shockwave is such an intense yellow!!! Love it!! Shadow Dancer is so unique for a striped. Lovely!! Perfume Tiger reminds me of my Julio Iglesias - same shade of pink. Again, lovely!! :) I love Smokin Hot - I've come to realize that I really like the lighter reverse roses. Brooks Red is my fav of your roses!!! Oh my!!! The color is similar to Chicago Peace. Oh my!!! Carol

When I googled the name, I found a few results which appear similar to 'Paul Neyron', but also a few others which don't. I also noted among the results that 'King of Siam' also appeared. And that name does come up on HelpMeFind, as does 'Roi de Siam'. It seems two roses were introduced under that name -- one a Hybrid Perpetual and the other an early Hybrid Tea. It's hard to make out much from your picture, so I hesitate to offer an ID on that particular rose. But it seems safe to say that there are a few roses going under that name today. Whether one is the "real" thing I don't know. :-) ~Christopher

I am in Flower Mound and have a variety of jasmine to trade. I am specifically looking for light pink/dark pink Damascus rose which is highly fragrant and is used in making rose water. I also love English garden roses that are highly fragrant. If its climbing rose, all the better. Other items in my search list are Brugmansia, Oleander and Clematis. If Damascus rose is available in local nurseries, I would appreciate that tip as well. Thanks
