I don't think it's Betty Boop or Betty Prior. Beyond that I'm not sure. I suspect something on soniarosa's list is probably what it is. If it isn't one of them it may be a Hybrid Musk of some sort. Could ypu post some pictures of the leaves, and of the overall appearance of the bush? That would probably help identify it.

Well, yes, I too was burned twice last year, my first year of trading. One was with the Cyber-Robin that was conducted on the GW. That person flat out never sent my plants. Told someone else on this forum that she sent them three times but they were always returned by the post office and she wasn't sending them again. Now the other 10+ people I traded with had the same address and all their boxes made it to my door. In fact at my little post office all you have to do is put my name and the name of the town on the box and they'll put it on my porch. They're really good folks at my post office so I figure if the person mailed it to KY at all it should have gotten to me. The other person I traded with we agreed to trade blooming size fans. That's what I sent her. When I opened her box my kids were looking at my face and they wanted to know what was wrong. Undoubtedly those plants were the smallest plants I've ever received. In fact they didn't bloom that year and four of the five didn't bloom this year. I still have no idea if I got what I traded for or not. In addition to that she didn't send one of the plants in that shipment and I had to e-mail her for well over a month before she sent the last one. Said she didn't send it in the original shipment because it was too small. Since it was tiny when I got it I can only imagine how small it was to begin with. I now pretty much limit my trading with a few select folks that I've traded with in the past. That and the Trademart on the AHS Robin. Now there's a class act. I've traded on there both this past spring and this fall and have been treated as good as you can get. Folks there are extremely generous and you in turn want to be as generous with them. Just a real fine group of traders. Janet

I have only two recent contributions to this thread. First, this is a pic of the first bloom on my 'R. fedtschenkoana' from late May. It has the occasional bloom again on and off. And here's the first open bloom on my new baby 'Miss Lowe's Variety' from a week ago. It keeps putting out more -- and growing -- so I'm letting it do its thing. It'll eventually live in the barrel below, but after I do a round of repotting in a few days, it'll spend the rest of the season in a 2-gal container. I also have a 'Mutabilis' which will be treated the same, but its first bloom opened just today, and I didn't snap a pic. It was already stained with some orange, so it'll be interesting to experience its color change in-person for the first time. :-) ~Christopher

What are they yellow tagged as? I saw many tagged as Gene Boerner and I dug a bit, but no DA tags. I also saw one yellow tagged (can't remember the name) but it had another white tag reading Waiheke. You can tell the picture doesnt match the rose. I started feelin weird so I left. I would love to run into a Scepter d'Isle, Eglantyne or a JTO, though!
