And let me tell you, they don't let you forget 'em! They come back year after year, no matter what I do and spread like crazy within my bed! I love them in spring and have decided to just go with them and let them do their thing! But, I have to make sure they don't spread out onto the lawn!

I have two dahlias that are just about ready to bloom. One is a dinner plate dahlia called sunny. Now that you are excited, I started them in the house in January. They spent two months in the house and a month in the poly house. I was excited to get back to summer.

Hello Beth, I saw you posted pictures of Pompom Flower Circus. For quite some time, I have been looking literally all over for that rose. I've called every local nursery and online nurseries as well. No one has it in stock anymore. And I just found out that the growers have discontinued it. I was wondering if you would be willing to part with a cutting? I would pay you for it of course. And shipping charges as well. I appreciate your help. Kindly, Roseann

I don't know of any true blues or true blacks. Some roses have several diff colors in them like pinks, yellows, oranges, etc but no full out rainbows, colors diff on every petal or anything like that. There are striped roses. There is really an all green rose. I would only buy it from a reputable nursery though, not ebay lol. "Blue" roses seem to really run in the different colored purple ranges. Some are more lavender with grey tones like Blue Girl (my favorite rose) there is Wild Blue Yonder, and Blue For You that are darker blu-ish purple tones. Some look bluer than others. There are a lot of good purple toned roses. Some seem to get more true purple or darker hues in cooler weather. Some people say soil acidity plays a role. "Blacks" are usually dark burgundys that with the right environmental conditions look black. There is a ongoing thread over on the gw rose forum with much discussion on black roses.
