How inspired are you mirendajean? We are not allowed to import large plants from Britain anymore, but we can get cuttings. There are many varieties that we love to get cuttings from if you'd like to consider an exchange program. As our European branch you could send us cuttings that we are searching for and we'd be happy to help you out. All you really need is a friend to work with you. It might seem like a small effort at first, but even if you can help save one plant from extinction, you are making an important contribution. Kathy is a great help to us and while we really want to know what plants rosarians in the US are looking for, please let us know if you have cuttings of a variety that you think is rare. Working with Chris in Columbus, we were able to get plants of Conrad Hilton, Miss Hillcrest, Texan and Magic Moon. I am working on getting more plants of Ralph Moore's 'Most Unusual Day', which seems to have disappeared from commerce. At the moment we have been desperately searching for Sunrise-Sunset (Herb Swim's not Ping Lim's). Let me know if anyone can provide cuttings. I appreciate anyone who wants to help in our "Save the Roses" campaign. John This post was edited by kstrong on Mon, Nov 26, 12 at 15:01

Thanks for pointing this out, very nice, only 3 more months for us! In the Gallery is also Paul's Hosta Alphabet of Winter 2011 with its 26 or so A-Z postings, a lot of great pictures. Here is a link that might be useful: Hosta Alphabet of Winter 2011

Thank you, Roselee! I think some of us hesitate to post photos of our gardens because we are a little humbled and/or intimidated when we view so many beautiful gardens on these forums. Pictures of gardens whether they are large or small, new or mature and formal or informal are an inspiration to others and perhaps with just about everyone having high-speed internet more garden photos will be posted.....I sure hope so! I know that I love viewing all of the garden and plant photos and often borrow creative ideas seen here. Molly

Thanks.
