Again its peaking here in SE Ohio, in case anyone is interested.

I think my primary bloom season will be NOW, see the temps above normal for two weeks. Mine have been a month early and even bloomed in December, January and February. For those of you who want to experiment with them, you will need to protect from DEER, Camellia is in the TEA family, so very safe to eat. These are just too tall for the deer now.

Your roses look perfect with so many blooms. What are your most favorites in scent? Thank you. I love button-hole roses since they are fragrant, yet don't trigger my allergies .. I got rid of Scepter'd Isle for its open-stamen & exposed pollens.

Mine is really small as 3rd-year grafted-on-Dr.Huey. I like it much better than Queen of Sweden being 7 feet tall as own-root. The scent is great.
