Your opinion please on the most beautiful, valuable old Austins
Comments (51)I grow many of the older Austins. In fact, I find myself to have an affinity with, if not a prefernce for some of the earlier English roses. My rose garden is just starting to bloom in the past two days. Many of the earliest blooming roses are the older English roses. The reds seem to be all opening, including; The Squire, Prospero, Wenlock, William Shakespear (Original) and William Shakespear 2000. Here are some images of some of the older English roses I grow and love: [IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/rideauroselad/Roses07/DSCF0031.jpg[/IMG] English Garden is vigorous healthy and has good rebloom in my garden.

[IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/rideauroselad/Roses07/P6160049.jpg[/IMG] Pegasus is gorgeous, fragrant, healthy and prolific in my garden. My two plants are covered in buds and opening now. Less of an old rose character and more musk like though with large blooms. [IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/rideauroselad/Roses07/SUMMER015.jpg[/IMG] The Squire, a bit fussy, I grow him in a pot. But when he blooms, he's worth the trouble, 5 inch dark crimson blooms that take your breath away. [IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/rideauroselad/Roses07/P6160050.jpg[/IMG] The Pilgrim, powerful Tea Rose fragrance, intricate old fashioned flowers, the most gorgeous yellow flowers and healthy to boot. There are more, but one mustn't go on too long. Cheers, Rideau Rose Lad...See MorePlease share your valuable experiences
Comments (8)Hi, Thank you for sharing. The soil I use is very soft and the wind is very strong so it cannot hold the stem firmly when we had strong wind very strong wind. The plants are not snapped but it makes a kind of gape around the base of the stem. Before I bound it the stem and leaves leaned to the stake, tight and lose when the wind blown so the stem got bruise and the leaves have torn. I really hate bruise stem and torn leaves. :) They were indoor plants but not leggy, I cut off the lower leaves because they touched the soil and shaded the new leaves. I started all these plants from the seeds. The first one is Scorpion Moruga Blend yellow, the seed from peperlover.com. The second one is Rocoto De Seda Yellow the third one is 7 Pods Brain Strain Red the youngest, both seeds were from the local seller. The plants are healthy and they were hardening off very well now. The fan I use inside is not big and strong enough it is a computer fan. First I used long stick but the problem was the new leaves, so I cut the stick to avoid the new shoots. I will use the long stick and rubber band now Thank you all again for the feedback. Caelian...See MoreA Valuable Idea For Every Kitchen Reno
Comments (8)Lynne - I did something similar - I compiled a 3-ring binder with a section for each part of the project (cabinets, appliances, lighting, counters, etc etc). I then photocopied each section of the project on the construction plans, colored them in where color was relevant, and wrote cross-reference information on these plans - also did this w/ cabinet elevations, lighting plan, as well as spec sheets for everything such as sinks, faucets, appliances, etc etc. Each paper was then put into a plastic sleeve and I included a write on, rub off marker in the book. We kept it in an obvious place throughout the project (sometimes on a window sash, on the counter once in, etc) and it became our "bible". If I was away from the site, the guys always had the info they needed and rarely needed to call me. If we came up against an issue, we could open the book, draw w/ the marker any changes we might make and everyone could get their 2 cents in before we moved forward. Now that the project is done, it's a wonderful resource for me to have when I get asked something by a visitor!...See MoreIs your ongoing kitchen reno ruining your social life?
Comments (34)Jill, thanks for the solidarity - definitely a puppy! Aren't back rubs part of your marriage vows? OB2B, he's not much on tile, but he's very appreciative of me :-) The delays could fill a whole new thread, but they basically go like this: I'll have a couple days next month. No I said the month after that. Eight months of this nonsense, then the New contractor broke his foot. Says he'll be back any day now, but then I've heard that before... Crl, yay indeed! Thanks for the love. Katrina, I'm so glad it all went well in the end. Cp, yeah, go ahead :-) Thanks! Zelly, I get it. Good luck! And it's true, people don't always communicate that well. I know there's life After a reno, but I'm finally happy to report there's life During a reno too....See Morecolickyboy
