Double Delight - you will love it. The only negative is that it gets double centers if you overfertilize. Good repeat, about 4 feet here. Mine is an older plant, when younger, it was taller Just Joey - I love it but it is not reliably hardy here. I plant it again and again hoping to find the right sheltered spot! Love it but can't seem to keep it going. Fussy! Never grown one over 8 inches tall. Peace - a classic, good rose for me. About four feet for me. Repeat is ok, not as much as others in my garden. Medallion - I like it and it has been a good rose for me in my garden. Not my fave, though. 4 feet and a somewhat stingy bloomer here. Europeana - a nice rose, lots of bloom throughout the season. A shorter, low growing rose. Always in bloom. I haven't grown Pascali. Just not a big fan of white roses. I've bought the package roses at Menard's for years. To give them a good start, soak them for at least 24 hours. They will do better if you put them in pots to start, then transfer them to the garden when they have shown some good growth.

The rebate is only good on purchases made during the sale dates (7-5 to 7-12). Even without the rebate, it's a pretty good price for jars. My only complaint was my store didn't have any non-jelly half pint jars. They had a small display up near the front, but have the bulk of the jars farther back in the store. My biggest problem is remembering to send in the rebate form - it's sitting on my computer desk at home. Then sometimes I'll make three or four trips to Menards before I remember to use the credit check. Cathy

That's great news. I stopped roasting about ten years ago when my wife was expecting our first child. The smell of smoke throughout the house and all day morning sickness were a bad mix. I never got into it, mostly because of the improved quality and freshness of coffee that is now available, but nothing is as good as the stuff I made myself. I've been curious about the efficiency of the Behmore catalytic converter. I now have a decent kitchen exhaust fan so that will definitely help, but I'm curious how well you find the smoke is eliminated. In the old days the whole house would smell for at least a day.

Thank you for the additional suggestions. I am also looking at the Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Rectangular Baking Dish. I don't own any LC cook/bakeware but have read so many raves about it here. This one can go from freezer to oven and even handle stovetop cooking for making gravy. It is a very heavy dish (even without food) and $$$, but would serve dual roles as lasagna pan and roaster. I have 2 Amazon.com gift cards (and possibly one more on the way for Christmas!) so that would help quite a bit. I haven't been able to determine if it can take high heat in the oven (500F).... does anyone know? Can anyone comment on this dish and if the extra price is worth it?
