I want to thank everyone that responded. I contacted the company I purchased the rose from. They agree that it is not SdlM and offered to do whatever I wanted for compensation. I chose to have a store credit as there are still roses on my "to buy" list. Aren't there always? I guess the rose I receive will remain a mystery rose, for now anyway. But thank you for throwing out possibilities. At least now I have some names to keep an eye on as the rose matures. Before I had no idea! Thank you! Michelle

i dont think so either .. which makes the next question: WHAT IS THE THIN CENTERED TC SPORT OF AS??? i suppose i could look it up on myhosta via the library.. but i am being lazy.. and hoping someone knows the answer offhand ... if there is one ... but that would presume... its a TC cull error ... on the other hand.. first pic comparing to others... i am wondering if leaf shape is consistent .. which is always hard on young plants... my recollection.. sitting here in the basement is that AS has longer than wider leaves... and the first pic looks like it has the potential to be a rounder/wider .. than longer leaf .. this would make it a nursery lost the tag issue.. rather than a sport issue... again.. i spend the time typing.. to teach you guys how to look critically and see differences between pix of plants ... actually.. my first thought was.. was the green consistent... and that is always hard.. in pix ... because old dirts camera and OPs camera.. could be messing with us ... ambient light and all that differing... old dirts pic .. though upside down.. lol ... look like the proper color for AS... compare to the 2nd and 3rd pix .. but the 1st pic is close .... but questionable leaf shape ... ken

I'm weird, I guess - I rarely wear my ring. DH and I were "shacking up" at the time, and one day I told him in no uncertain terms that if I was to keep living with him, I ought to at least have an engagement ring, for heaven's sake. He agreed. We were poor folks, and I had a credit card, so we shopped and put my engagement ring on my credit card. Romantic, huh? We bought the kind that fit into the wedding ring, which we bought at the same time, but he kept that in a box in his dresser. The engagement ring had one "big" diamond and one "small" diamond, and the wedding ring had the other "small" diamond to mirror the engagement ring. They're not worth more than $200 all together, but who cares? I'm not a materialistic person. We've got diamonds and rings. About 2 years later, we had a modest, but very nice wedding. I got the two rings soldered together. We bought a plain gold band for him. He wears his every day, and after these 9 years, he can't take it off without a lot of effort and hasn't really tried. I got out of the habit of wearing mine during my 1st pregnancy when my hands swelled. I bought a plain gold band to wear instead, and would wear it as a wedding ring now (it'd have to be re-sized) but he says no, it's not our wedding ring. I find the diamond stuff gets in the way, and I only wear it when I go out somewhere special or care that people see that ring on my finger. As I said, I'm not a materialistic person. We could afford to get bigger diamonds now, I guess, but who cares? Why spend all that money on a freakin' rock?

Thank you so much for all the advise. I went over to the house this morning and I taped two pulls (different style but same size from some of the samples I got on line) and it was on the 25" drawers that I just couldn't make up my mind. It is all about the looks. I just finished ordering my pulls and knobs. There was only 4 drawers in question so I ordered the 4 extra. I really think I got a great deal. Emtek Providence series knobs (all solid brass) in polished chrome for bath and satin nickel for kitchen, and the cup pulls in the same series #86123- in the chrome and satin nickel. With two wardrobe knobs for the his & her doors hiding my laundry. That is 87 knobs and pulls for $420.82 inc. free shipping. I am so pleased. These pulls and knobs sell for almost double that at the cabinet stores and on most of the internet sites.
