Tequila Sunrise and Pretty-N-Pink are maybe in the process of being registered. Still Ten English pounds is a lot of moular to some (and me). Tequila Sunrise is lovely. Pretty-N-Pink has a minor fault only visible to Tolumnia purists. Had a look at Orchidom previously and was impressed. Closer to home and you do not have to worry so much about the guardians of the gates. You might have to be careful with âÂÂclonesâÂÂ, are they talking about Mericlones which are usually more expensive than seedlings. The other big advantage is growing conditions. The Caribbean is probably Tolumnia Heaven. Three clones of Tolu. Alyshia showing the variation you sometimes get from the one compot of seedlings which in this case means produced from seed. The crossing is Shannon Elizabeth x Sizzler. Sizzler was registered by Robert Perreira. Tracking the ancestors of a cross will usually find an ancestor registered by Perreira or Moir.

I have used the Miracle Gro potting soil (regular, not with the crystals) because it's pretty hard to find a local source of decent potting soil of other sorts. I don't grow roses to keep in pots other than temporarily so I don't have an opinion about it long term. In the short term it can be fine, but you're not supposed to fertilize new bare roots for 6-12 months so I try to avoid the ones with fertilizer built in when I can. Having said this, the ones I potted up temporarily last year did as well as the ones I planted in potting mix without fertilizer, but it's not generally recommended to have that fertilizer for new bare roots. For amounts, I put a tablespoon or so into a 5-gallon bucket temporarily so you might use a couple in a 20 gallon bucket. There are some controversial posts about Soil Moist and potted roses (Quest-Rison is one that comes to mind), but there's a variety of opinions about anything else involving roses too. There are different results of planting with Soil Moist in the ground vs. in pots, and the pots are the ones more likely to benefit from the extra moisture. I'm sure people in your zone may have more opinions about this, but in my zone and yard it hasn't had any adverse effect that I can tell and has absolutely helped roses survive my summer with scant rain.

Marianne is a favorite of mine. She's a modern Gallica, so she needs chill hours and is a once bloomer, and blooms on old wood (no fall or winter or early spring pruning ). She likes pegging and room, but she's my favorite orange/apricot rose.

It will not be any better help to see this on the net in someone elses home unless tjhey have your exact home with lighting , flooring and window facing and even tehn not real. Buy a box bring it home and lay it out in your space that is the only way to really pick flooring .Both have pics on the the site they seem quite similar to me.
