Steve, I have to lead a field trip that day so I probably can't make it. Would you do me a favor and let people know that if they want to take some cuttings from the salvias at Rancocas Nature Center they can. If anyone asks they should say that Ward says it's OK. As the gardens there evolve and there is more and better variety I'm hoping a tradition of taking cuttings will develop, ideally on the day you have your plant swap, if that's alright with you.

Please use the July Rose List. Thank you, Ron S.

Jeri J, Thank you for bringing to my attention, a correction in the October 2005 “AEN” supplementary “Rose” List. Should a correction be noted on ARS or my part, the correction will be addressed in a following post. The November post will reflect a correction, removing the name Bevoniensis from the list. As stated in the header, the primary purpose of the “Supplement Rose List” is to compliment the 2005 AEN, by address Corrections / Additions / Deletions a continuing process. Devoniensis is listed in the 2005 AEN, indicating eligibility for Dowager Queen (the reason it was originally included); therefore its removal from the list is in order. Happy Holidays.
