I'm so sorry about all the problems and breakage on the red one. Awful for that happen. But it looks nice now. I do like Tasy on some of mine. And definitely let them all set over-night before I move any. That birdbath is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love, love, love it. What great colors! Hmmm, you gave me some ideas for hummingbird glass feeders. (I think that cobalt bottle I recently showed with the metal hanger must've been one). But I found a large round multicolored globe in a neat copper holder and been trying to figure how to do something with the bottom so I could hang it. Thank you for inspiration. hugs, Karen

Thanks, Dan. I'm not sure about the graft. It is supposed to be own-root and the horizontal canes and blooms look exactly the same, except for the fact that they are level with the ground. I'll have to think on it for a mo before cutting them off. But, I guess it can't hurt, even if it wasn't grafted, because they don't belong on the ground and my blooms are getting lost in the other ground cover flowers. Skybird, before clicking on any link, you can always hold the mouse over and look at your status bar (at the bottom of the screen) to see what the address of the link is. I didn't follow the link but I have done that before and found something I totally didn't expect!! Dan, it is a Canadian Parkland rose. I got that one and the Morden Blush (another Parkland) from a highly recommended shop in Longmont but that doesn't mean it wasn't grafted. My others came from Harlequin's in Boulder and I totally trust when they say it is own-root stock. I'm hoping it wasn't grafted!!

Love the Queen Charlotte ....my style! Palatine roses have done very well in my garden. I will check her out next ordering season. The other roses are lovely also. Thanks for sharing. lesley

You mentioned you just moved in, so it‘s important to have a long term plan, ie: each chair has its own design feature and given the light wood as well, subsequent design choices should continue with the ”look”. If in no hurry, suggest taking your time to find the perfect chair (with adding two, they will have a big influence). If changing wall color, that is a consideration as well. You also asked about layout. If you showed the entire room and provided measurements and diagram, layout may alter chair size and style.
