YOu might call Hall's on Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain to see if they have it. They carry some old roses, more than anyone else i know around here. I have some great mail order sources, though, if you don't find it locally. I got one for a friend at work when the Antique Rose Emporium near Dahlonegha was still open, and it does beautifully for her ( and she neglects it).

Not all plant sales are sponsored by garden clubs. Here's one In Lee, NH, that a co-worker posted on the fridge at work (though this announcement is from Foster's Daily Democrat, the local newspaper): "LEE Â The 18th annual Lee Church Congregational Plant Sale will be held Friday, May 15. 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, May 16, 9 a.m.-noon. Over 2,000 perennials, trees, shrubs and shade plants, many of them field grown will be offered. There will also be vegetables including tomatoes, peppers and herb. Featured this year are four-year-old kousa dogwood trees, hardy deep gold forsythia shrubs and dwarf lupines. The sale is held at the Lee Church Congregational, center of Lee on Route 155. A beef stew, macaroni and cheese, salad bar supper will be held concurrently with the Friday evening sale 5-7. Breakfast will be available on Saturday morning. Strafford County Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your gardening questions. Further information contact Barb Wauchope 659-8857" The fridge announcement also said something about new plants being put out on Saturday.

Great work. We have a space locally that would suit a garden such as this, especially since it's owned by the council and those sentenced to community service spend their weekends mowing it!

Hi defrost…another early bird. :-) I'm adding to my houseplant collection this winter, which is pretty depleted. Some winters, I just have no interest, but this year I do, probably because this summer my garden time was minimal. Right now, I have some succulents that need repotting and I'm looking for decorative, ceramic probably. I'm going to try to find some shallow pots in a small to medium size for now. I have larger ceramic pots, but they seem like the wrong shape and size. By the way, if anyone knows who sells the best houseplants, besides Logee's in CT, because I haven't got time to take a trip there. I usually end up at Russell's and I stay away from Mahoney's, so I'm looking for somewhere new to try.
