Pretty in Pink or Apricot: Exceptional Roses for Hot Dry Climate
Comments (40)Thanks so much, Kippy. I look forward to checking these out this weekend. But I'm not so much looking for pink, as apricot, preferably with somewhat flexible stems. Diane and ingrid, Austin touts Evelyn as a 6' climber, and my memory is that several Californians on this forum have claimed 20' long Evelyns. Ingrid, I always check out the photos on HMF, but I never trust that as much as a person-to-person opinion here. Is there an apricotish version of SdlM, or Duchesse de Brabant, or the Tantau rose you just linked on the Austin thread? Also, seeds of the somniferous poppies can be purchased at One Stop Poppy Shoppe and several other smaller seed companies. Burpee has a double peony type called Venus. These poppies are supposed to be out of their element in our climate, but I planted last autumn to take advantage of the cold, and so far all but the darkest color are holding their own and stopping visitors in their tracks. -jannike...See MoreSuggestions for orange climbing rose.
Comments (12)"Rusty's Angel's Camp Orange" is a modern rose. A suggested identity is 'Royal Sunset.' The April event is in the Historic Rose Garden, within the Historic Old City Cemetery, 1000 Broadway, Sacramento, CA. The Open Garden always takes place on a mid-April Saturday. (The 2013 date has not yet been announced.) I believe the photos posted here were taken at Open Garden, April, 2011.

Comments (24)I just moved to Tujunga/Sunland, close to you San Fernando folks. Currently, we have about 2 Japanese sweet potato vines, the tubers should be about ready to harvest. Just planted some mizuna, daikon and napa cabbage, along with other salad greens. In florida, I grew red shiso (perilla), malabar spinach (basella alba) and asian winged bean. The malabar spinach and shiso should do OK in this climate, but not sure about the asian winged bean, as I am up in the foothills and we get frosts up here. Would be happy to trade malabar spinach or winged bean seeds for other asian vegetables. If I get the shiso established, then I can trade those seeds too....See MoreBouquet de Fleurs fruit wanted
Comments (16)Steve, on what planet is 'Flying Dragon' trifoliate fruit sweet? It is super, super sour/bitter. Inedible, hideously so. And, the oils from the peel will stick to your skin, knife, cutting board, etc. and can be very difficult to remove. Awful stuff. The oils can also cause dermatitis in some people. It also goes by "Japanese bitter orange" for good reason It can make a nice rootstock, but you want to take care handling the fruit, and you certainly would not want to eat it out of hand. Some brave (and very enterprising) folks will make marmalade out of the fruits or a "lemonade" with a LOT of sugar (I would not have the patience to remove all the seeds for such little flesh, or do the insane cleaning up it takes to get the gummy oils off of everything.) The good news is the fruits are loaded with seeds, so it is fairly easy to buy seeds. The Ebay seller Steve listed is from S. Carolina, which is quarantined only for the ACP, and not HLB, so this seller can sell seeds legally out of state. Scpalmetto, for any states that are quarantined due to HLB, seeds are quarantined as well, as they will be infected with HLB. So, I would make sure not to purchase any seeds from HLB quarantined states, as it would be illegal. Pip, to your original question - I would pose your question to some of the commercial citrus growers in non-quarantined states. And the reason? Because no one would be sure what you'd be doing with your trees. You could be growing trees for resale and those trees could make they way back to citrus states where HLB is not present. So, to protect the rest of the citrus states, this is why there is such a strict quarantine in place. It is not easy to find this particular sour orange. If I were you, I'd buy a tree, grow it, then harvest your own seeds. Four Winds grows them. Patty S....See MoreBarbJP 15-16/9B CA Bay Area
