Your opinion please on the most beautiful, valuable old Austins
Comments (51)I grow many of the older Austins. In fact, I find myself to have an affinity with, if not a prefernce for some of the earlier English roses. My rose garden is just starting to bloom in the past two days. Many of the earliest blooming roses are the older English roses. The reds seem to be all opening, including; The Squire, Prospero, Wenlock, William Shakespear (Original) and William Shakespear 2000. Here are some images of some of the older English roses I grow and love: [IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/rideauroselad/Roses07/DSCF0031.jpg[/IMG] English Garden is vigorous healthy and has good rebloom in my garden.

My two plants are covered in buds and opening now. Less of an old rose character and more musk like though with large blooms.

But when he blooms, he's worth the trouble, 5 inch dark crimson blooms that take your breath away.

There are more, but one mustn't go on too long. Cheers, Rideau Rose Lad...See MoreIn the obituaries today
Comments (20)I learn something every day. Today I googled suicide blond. My guess was that it was blond hair with red streaks since we were talking about a red head and the word suicide. Ah, no, suicide blond is just that fried white hair from a bottle, said google. Seen quite a few of those! Still maintaining my cosmotology certificate for 31 years, I had never heard that. Thanks Patti, I enjoyed this post since it reminds me of so many red heads, quite a few older ladies, that I have loved....See MoreWeird obituary information
Comments (17)The obits are the most interesting part of most papers. I had one elderly man come in a few years ago to the hospital where I work. I think he was in his 90s, if I'm not mistaken. Wasn't feeling good, he actually walked in on his own, but never left. His wife was in another area hospital in the hospice unit, dying of cancer. She called every night asking how her husband was doing. Pretty soon we would have to tell her he wasn't doing very well. I felt so bad for them both. He was worried about her more than himself and wasn't able to see her. I asked the doctors on his team if there was any way to get them to the same hospital, but they told me he wasn't stable enough. The other hospital was maybe five minutes away from us! He finally died without ever seeing her again. He was one of those patients you just never forget. We later read his obit in the paper. About six months later (my memory isn't that great so I'm not sure, but less than a year), I recognized the last name of an elderly woman who died...and it was the man's wife. They both had an interesting life and had been married for many years. I just thought it was so sad they didn't get to be with each other at the end. When my mom died, my dad's memory wasn't that great and I guess he told the funeral home I lived in Louisville so that's what they printed in the paper....See MoreMessage from 2ManyDiversions hubby
Comments (17)Thank you all again, for contributing your words to the "memory" book. It was my honor to put it together and have it made. As for an obituary, both 2ManyDiversions and her husband are *very* private people and there was no obituary. I was asked by her hubby to not disclose any names or location etc., only to let you know that she had passed. I know those of us who knew 2Many in real life or through private emails, etc, will honor that request and not disclose info....See More
