I love Roald Dahl
Comments (11)Sorry I missed these responses! Boncrow , Olivia hadn’t faded much if any for me. We are having unusual temps and lack of humidity here so it’s been so beautiful. I wonder if this will be a new pattern but it’s just been in the pleasant 80s for a month or so. olivia is perfect on the bs ! So healthy. Hcarn- we do have black spot here . And a lot of my roses get it fierce ! So far RD has been great in the health . I’ve noticed this year roses that didn’t have any bs last year are getting it this year . It’s so weird! Also RD reblooms well in flushes , no blooms in between it seems . I love it !...See MoreQuery: Mercury Rising, Duchesse de Brabant, Roald Dahl?
Comments (33)Vaporvac - yes -- I do mail order from Annie's (too often, I'm afraid). The shipping is expensive, but things always arrive healthy and well packed for me. One time the delivery truck delayed a day in the middle of a heatwave, and the poor plants fried in the truck, so Annie's re-sent all the ones I told them were damaged. I had sent photos to show them what I got. I ordered both Duchesse de Brabant and Grandmother's Hat last night. I'll stick them in pots and wait 'til next year to plant them in the garden, probably. Who knows, really. I seem to change my mind willy-nilly these days. I went out and bought a 2nd Princesse Charlene de Monaco at the last minute yesterday and put it in the spot where I had just dug up my Red Baron peach tree... I'm still waiting on my bare root Scentuous and Julie Andrews roses....See MoreHas Anyone Ever Ordered from Roses Unlimited?
Comments (49)Sheila, if Triomphe is the smaller of the two that's all to the good as my goal is to have all the roses in front of the house. No more Tea Rose Row, alas! I may decide to have one or two roses in the back since that's my view when I sit in my customary chair in the living room. I used to have the genuine Wm. R. Smith and I'd love to have it again some time. I'm not very fond of teas that turn red although many people love them. Kitty, I used to feed the squirrels and their population exploded. It's difficult to know what to do, for sure. I think having a dog might be a deterrent but we're not up to caring for one any more. berrypie, if you look under Classes and then under Tea Roses you'll see most of the ones I ordered....See MoreExtra roses for sale to make room for new roses
Comments (9)Helen, to have one of your magnificent roses would be an honor. I hope that they all find wonderful homes so that you can try something new. Best wishes on the rehoming....See MoreLynn-in-TX-Z8b- Austin Area/Hill Country
