How beautiful. I am just beginning to rebuild my lost AV collection and have decided to concentrate on the Anthoflores, as well as Russians and Ultra. They are all so hard to find. Do you have any more Anthoflores?

Beautiful Michelle like all of your roses, ten days gee thats fantastic. I am now cutting my buds off every morning so I am starting to get about five days from them. Michelle your pic may be big in hight but it is only 36kbs. Its those huge 200kbs that have been put on lately that take forever to download. Especially if you are first on the thread and having Broadband makes no difference either Then you have to click on to them to get them small enough to view. Yours are fine Pic and roses ...........Cheers..MM.

I can see why you are contemplating it as a climber! My poor sad one would have been about third of the size... I grow all my roses in pots- If I want to encourage them to bush out, produce more canes, perform better or decide to give them a last chance before putting them in the green recycle bin, first thing I do is repot them into something bigger (if they look dry, I try to soak them for a few hours in water first). then fertilize. I use Sudden Impact for roses. Its not cheap, but its definitely worked on a lot of my roses. Although now its heating up here, the whole new growth getting burnt crunchy is becoming a problem.. Btw, your fence looks exactly like the one that my landlord and next door neighbour conspired to put up here hehe. Sure, it looks nice, but I liked my old one better..could bang as many nails in that to fix bits of chicken wire and plastic trellising as I wanted...

vaporvac - I've had 2 Cloud10s. The first one was so wimpy with tiny little flowers and never climbed. The second one started out the same but I fertilized it more and since it never stopped raining last year it seemed to like that better and actually put out several 5' canes. It does not BS at all! The flowers hang on a long time but they will get dirty looking with tons of rain. But it has very little foliage and I cannot detect any fragrance. I put it inside an obelisk and I think I should have wound the stems around the outside and it might look better. At the time I was thinking deer protection since they were roaming the gardens all night but they reached right in and helped themselves.
