i strongly agree with virgil about the real work done on these shoes i have to say, i really hope they change hgtv shows. i know theres a thread somewhere on here all about hgtv but im sick and done with the fake happy couples who happen to mysteriously have ginormous amounts of money to flip and renovate homes into ugly houses for the fools who are on the show its the same s*it all over and over day after day, just different couples doing the same decorating and "designing" when we know all the TRUE work is done by engineers, architects, contractors, plumbers, electricians, handymen, house stagers and interior designers who work with them. you know....the little people

I have Cloud 10, actually this is my second one. Both were potted roses, the last one was from Star. As you know, Cloud 10 is from breeder Radler of KnockOut fame. Listed as a climbing rose 7-8'. Hardy to zone 5 but may only be a tall shrub in z5. Excellent disease resistance. Double flowers singly or in clusters. My first one was a wimp, died back to the ground every winter, never got much taller than 2-3'. The second one I planted last year. I mulched it heavily for winter and glad I did because it died to the mulch line. I think this rose likes lots of water and fertilized every 30 days. I usually only get my roses fertilized twice. Once with fish and kelp as soon as possible in the spring when they start to leaf out and then one application of Rosetone 3-4 weeks later. This year I fertilized three times and it did much better. It rained constantly all summer. It has finally made it up to the top of the pillar - about 5 1/2'. The flowers last a long time and repeat is good. Its not real full but with winter dieback all the time, it's hard to get many or strong canes. It isn't bothered with leaf spots of any kind. I don't think it is even slightly fragrant, but I can't smell anything anymore so I'm no help there!

I personally don’t like this yoyoing temperature pattern, though it has been the norm for the last several winters. I love typical NH February weather, with occasional really cold temperatures, but most days in the teens and 20’s. It keeps the snow good quality and allows for time outdoors without the bugs and ticks. I would far prefer temperatures between 0 and 30 instead of -15 and then 50’s.

I suppose we could all arrive with our suitcases and pretend we thought my relatives still owned it. (We may need to put some extra effort into laying on the charm.) lol
