I am wanting to do a trade. I would LOVE to try your: SOLAR FLARE variety and only need about 5 seeds. I have these varieties that I did not notice on your list: Burgess Lemon (only 5 seeds from Wintersown and several years old) Hovarth (only 2 seeds left from Wintersown and several year old) Peacevine Cherry (10 seeds from Kenyon Organics, probably 2 years old) God Love (5 seeds from Kenyon Organics, probably 2 years old) Abe Lincoln (about 10 from Livingston Seed Co, less than year old) San Marzano (about 10 from Organic Ferry-Morse, less that year old) I am rather new to this forum and unsure how to proceed. Is there a way you can message me to exchange addresses? I can send a SASE.

You're welcome! It's not odd that cooler zones will report more fragrance from many than warmer areas. Those in the cooler places are probably smelling them when the oils and alcohols are most volatile and smell the most. We in the warmer areas often miss out because they evaporate faster as the heat increases. Also, as aridity increases, the scents burn out faster. The various components of each rose's fragrance evaporate at different rates, so one may smell very Damask at first, quickly morphing into orris or citrus, finishing a completely different scent before losing any detectable trace for the day.

Hi Joanne, I have not had any problems with disease (other than the PM that came from VB) at all. Too let you know how hardy these things are... the first one I got from VB early last spring was growing well, until I put it in a grow tent with a bunch of basil, thyme etc seedlings and a couple baby avs. Those were the only lights we had at the time. The heater we had in there-well the thermostat failed and the heat was up to 140 F. It fried everything except...the strep. It had a very tiny hint of green (about double the size of a pin head) left on it. I repotted it, took care of it, and within two months it had grown brand new leaves and begun flowering. The only thing that will kill them quickly is over-watering -much more sensitive than AVs in that respect. Lyon's has some nice ones, but I'm going to stick with the Polish type for the most part, and they have very few of those. If there's something you're looking for in particular, Joanne, please let me know. I've got several babies potted up and will have more in a few weeks. These are not Polish-haven't put leaves for those yet (but will in a couple of weeks), but some of these are quite nice! It's too late (too cold) to ship from here any more but come spring time I should have the Polish as well! Best, Judy
