Comments (4)My was grafted, and sadly its roots fed the voles that work that part of the garden. The foliage: excellent deep green and not a BS magnet. Not perfect, but much better than most. Fragrance: Excellent (and my nose doesn't 'get' a lot of fragrances, I spent too many decades on the Gulf Coast) Color: enchanting. IF I were able to keep tree roses alive in the ground through winter, I'd choose to have this on a tall standard, as the blooms need to be nose height. Mine stayed fairly low and that made it perfect so that we could see to pull out onto the road and see clearly over it....See MoreTell me about fusco marginata and dischorensis...
Comments (15)Sounds about right, although erythrina really pouts for me in the cooler months. And multiflora loves wet feet, but not cold feet! A few others you could add (if you don't already have): griffithii pachyclada (likes it really dry, so that helps with the concern of root rot due to cold temps and wet media...don't expose to drafts or temps below 50F; if overwintered indoors, it should be fine) australis and it's various ssp. sp. IV Welsh Mountain Zoo (keep dry, like pachyclada) sp. Welsh Mountain Zoo (looks very much like villosa/globulosa) sp. Queensland II (I suspect this one is an aff. incrassata, based upon the flowers, but the leaves have various degrees of splashing...rather nice) sp. SR-2010-049 Fraser Hills (very lacunosa/khroniana-ish, highly splashed leaves) macgillivrayi (native to NE AU...lovely, large blooms) anulata (striking red leaves, if grown in high light. Fragrant, but rather non-remarkable flowers- white corollas, white coronas, and pink-to-red gynastegium) sussuela (eriostemma section- loves high light and heat, but can tolerate, if protected, cooler temps) onychoides (native to the Cape York Peninsula, QLD, AU)...See MoreCan you tell me about qualities of the Syrian Damask rose?
Comments (22)Careful, those are postal regulations, not Dept. of Agriculture regs. Light Brown Apple Moth quarantine for all nursery stock from quarantined areas (includes the list of quarantined counties);Imported Fire Ants quarantine for listed specific areas; I would check with the State Agricultural Department before moving any potted plants from one county to the next. Some counties can't provide propagated roses for donations to sales in other counties without State inspections. It depends whether the shipping area is under quarantine for pests and/or diseases if the plant can be moved into the receiving area. Do you remember the discussions in the past about how expensive the phytosanitary certificates were for Vintage to ship roses, while other sources didn't have to provide them? Vintage was in several quarantine areas for specific issues where Visalia wasn't. You should check to insure the sending location isn't under quarantine for something your area doesn't already have....See MoreTell me about fireplace doors
Comments (5)rrah did a pretty good job of answering your questions based on real life experience so I will only add to what was said: Most Fireplace Doors on the market are not designed to be burned with the doors closed and the owners manual will tell you not to do so. All of the doors sold at home centers are this way...you cannot close them. Such doors usually have less than 1/4" thick tempered safety glass. So you need to make sure the doors you consider are actually designed to be burned with the doors closed. I manage a company that sells Custom Fireplace Doors from Design Specialties, and they are designed to be burned with the doors closed. They even have a lifetime warranty on the glass. Regarding the vents: A top vent is not necessary and can only lead to potential smoke coming into the room. Since the fire feeds air from the bottom, you only need a bottom vent. Design Specialties offers a somewhat hidden vent that is either open or closed and this works very well. Regarding smell: No fireplace door is going to seal the fireplace 100%, particularly if you are overlapping a brick fireplace where there are motor joints. Unless you fill those joints, there is going to be air passing through them. There are also gaps between the glass in some designs. There are options to have tight sealing doors, but most people do not choose this option because it requires doors that are fully framed with metal. So if you choose a bifolding door, each of the 4 glass panels will be framed with metal. Our Fireplace Door Experts can talk you through all of those options and help you choose what is best for your needs. Our company provides a FREE Fireplace Door Design Service where if you email us pictures of your fireplace, we will create mock-ups so that you can see just how various doors will look on your fireplace before you commit to buying them. View Over 50 Fireplace Door Mock-Ups Here! Price: This varies widely based on the size of your fireplace and the style of door you choose. Design Specialties makes a variety of styles using either Aluminum or Solid Steel. Aluminum framed fireplace doors are about $800 to $1200 and the Steel doors start at about $1000 and can go as high as $3000 and more for some of the hand forged doors. Our average custom door order comes in at about $1500 If you post a picture of your fireplace here on Houzz, I can actually do some mock-ups for you and post them back here.
