Mike Lowe passed yesterday.
Comments (21)Thanks Paul for passing on this sad information. Mike Lowe was a giant in the world of old roses. I heard of him 30 years ago and knew I must meet him and experience him and his collection of OGRs in Nashua. I contacted Mike and was off to Nashua for his spring bloom, in Jume. Mike and Irene were the best of hosts. Mike was always impetuous with me, but showed me much including how to propagate rose cuttings at his home in Nashua. I made 2 forays with him to Karl Jones' 11 acre rose garden in Barrington RI for cuttings. We kept sporadic contact over the years, but it was always engaging, enthusiastic, and full of information. Mike also helped me with a contact at Roserie d 'la Hay for some rambler bud wood one summer. Oh, those were days of great joy and possibility. I shall miss Mike and the opportunity to catch up on his latest rose adventures as I discovered a few years ago when he came to Washington for a National Rose Show. Sadly, this will take some time to get over. Losing a mentor always does and will be felt deeply. Nick...See MoreMike Lowe passed yesterday.
Comments (18)Paul, that is such a wonderful thoughtful thing to post Mike Lowe's Guest Book. Both Jim1961 and I are doing our prayers and I will sign in later tonight... Henry Kuska, that is wonderful for you to put out a link on some of the roses that Mike Lowe bred. Along that line I thought of an idea. Maybe if we can all work together to get all the link of roses and if anyone grows any of these and has photos of their roses, we can perhaps get some warm-wishes, thinking-of-you memorial bouquets going for him and his family. As HenryKuska listed there's Autumn Sunset, Eglantine which many of you have... If anyone has difficulty knowing how to post a photo, email me with the hyperlinks and I'll try to put them up. Or anyone else who knows how to post photos can likewise volunteer....See MoreMother in Law passed yesterday
Comments (33)I-chic: I'd hardly call your traumas "little". My continued thanks to everyone for their thoughts and support. The funeral service was yesterday. The church was so packed they had overflow in the fellowship hall and the patio area right outside the church. Mom was a well-loved and respected member of her family, her community and her church. We continue to deal with her loss. While we knew that she was not going to be with us much longer, we did not expect it now. Our consolation is knowing that she is now without pain and that we have each other for love and support....See MoreHave you had a dog pass from CHF?
Comments (38)That is so fascinating Marilyn. I bought my little guy from an older woman that had one litter of puppies a year and potty and car trained them, she even named them. She was very nice. When I took him home I immediately took him to the vet for a wellness check and to talk about getting him fixed. The vet said this dog is unhealthy and potentially have many health issues. I was shocked I spent a lot on him, the breeder had papers on him and seemed trustworthy. He said a Lhasa Apso should be twice this size. He has always struggled with his health. The breeder was breeding only the smallest to get even smaller dogs I know now. I told the vet I loved him, which I do and was willing to take on potential health issues. My husband has declared several times that our dog is the most expensive dog on earth lol due to all of his health issues....I still love him! I have been waking up with him for 14 years sometimes several times a night....See Morecattyles
