Comments (2)W. - since AVSA.org site is under construction - there is no help from them. There is a gesneriad club in Newberg OR - I would suggest you to contact them and ask for their ideas. usually the most economical way is to attend the local clubs Show and sale and load it up. I am thinking that part of the problem is a winter shipping - heat packs and next day delivery... Good Luck Irina Here is a link that might be useful: clubs...See MoreQ's for West Coast gardeners: Big roses for the fence
Comments (18)John, nice to hear from you. It's been a while since I've seen you post. I would prefer to use old roses as much as possible, but I'm not a stickler for it. Old-fashioned modern roses are fine as well. I have in the past grown a number of the Romantica roses only to find them glaringly modern looking when placed with genuine old roses. Pierre de Ronsard is the exception, and I think it was added to the Romantica collection after the fact. I do like your suggestion of Marechal Niel. I have heard that it sometimes lacks vigor on its own roots. Did you find the Chamblee's clone to have that problem? HoovB, I'd love to add Gloire de Dijon, if one can be found that is vigorous and healthy. Do you have a particular source to recommend? Aimee and I both want to know. Pamela, several of your suggestions sound appealing, especially Apricot Glow and Jacotte. I wonder if someone from a PM-prone area could post their experiences with these two. Yes, I am tempted! Kstrong, I used to grow Royal Sunset, but while it had good resistance, here it lacked the vigor I want. Masha, I'll take a look at Collette. I don't know that I've ever seen it grown. BBoy, that is too bad about Cornelia. It was one I was considering. I'll only be planting two climber/ramblers and a big shrub, already chosen. I want to leave lots of room for paths, as Campanula pointed out to me. The area I'm planting slopes uphill, so I'll get the layering effect easily and the paths should disappear from notice. As a bonus, I have two pomegranate bushes in that area, and their blooms are a wonderful coppery orange. I didn't plan it that way, but they ought to look great there. There is also a ham radio tower, but that's another story. I've gardened around it so long that I have trouble imagining having a garden without a tower or two. I've come to think of it as sculpture. I know that is how Tom regards it! Rosefolly...See MoreOnline nursery to buy Perennials for West Coast
Comments (17)I have ordered from Forest Farm twice and been satisfied each time. Have ordered from Bluestone several times and had great success - not sure if they are still doing fall shipping. If not, be sure to order early in spring before the heat comes as they do ship ground from Ohio. Canyon Creek is a California nursery that specializes in salvias and violets. Have not tried them yet, but plan to next spring. May want to check out their site. Here is a link that might be useful: Canyon Creek nursery...See More2 cm slabs the norm on the west coast? Really? Why?
Comments (12)I have no idea why it's one way in some parts of the country and the other way elsewhere. I don't think it's an earthquake thing, Jakabedy. If it was, I think I'd have heard that while we were shopping around. I'm in the northern part of San Diego County. There are half a dozen granite yards within 5 miles of here and another half dozen or so about 30 min. down the freeway. Of all of those, with the exception of the place where we bought, the norm was 2 cm. And no, Lisa, these weren't cheap Chinese prefabs. There was a place we looked at that had prefabs and maybe they came from China, I don't know. One place was exclusively Brazilian, but most places had stone from India, Africa, South America, and probably some from China. Depends on the stone - some is even North American. I believe the yards carrying 2 cm had the occasional 3 cm slab, presumably because they wanted that variety and that's how it was available. The place we bought from carries only 3 cm because they prefer it. This place both sells and installs vs. handing over to fabricators. So we have 3 cm and we like it, but really, it's just a viable alternative, not a decision where there is a right and wrong. If Seattle has lots of 3 cm, how about British Columbia? Is there a preponderance of one or the other up there? We could actually map this out if people would say where they are and what they see in their area....See MoreSara (9b SF Bay Area)
