Comments (18)Hi Jerome, I love, love love, and adore "Lamarque", The foliage is awesome, and it thrives here with no spraying in the S.F. Bay area. Thomasvile "Lamarque" has smaller blooms than the California form. I'm one of the rare few who doesn't love the scent of J.D. it is too much like overly ripe bananas for my tastes. Mac mildews badly where I live, far more than Lamarque. I bought Blush Noisette on the advice of a neighbor and wished I hadn't for in my opinion it is the plainest of all the pink Noisettes. I much prefer the rose that Rogue valley sells as Champneys Pink Cluster" for the individual blooms are prettier, and the foliage is more attractive. Just my opinion after growing both. You might well become another Blush Noisette fan. pink and yellow Teas. One of my favorite pink Tea roses is "Mme Berkeley" which grows to be c. 8 feet tall here, with fantastic starry blooms. In cool months it has salmon hues near its center. "Souvenir de la Pierre Notting" has larger yellow blooms, which darken to medium yellow after being in a vase a day or two. On November 19th both have 100% buds and blooms and are waxing towards a full flush. Most of our Tea roses are waning in bloom this late in the season. I haven't found that roses are more strongly scented in England, when I was there. According to Greg L. one must have the proper olfactory receptors to detect a scent of a type of rose. This is why some persons can smell Gallica roses but not Old Garden Tea roses. Lucky for me, I can smell Tea roses. white Teas, China I had to leave "Ducher" behind for it mildews terribly in our climate. . I recently bought two Westside Road Cream Tea" and heartily praise them. I bought them in July and they still have clean foliage. The blooms have a bit more substance than Mme. Alfred Carriere, and to my nose, far more fragrance. They grow to be small plants for a Tea, only c. 4 feet tall. I prefer the blooms of Westside Road Cream Tea to those of Ducher or Mac. If I could cross them with the foliage of Lamarque" I'd have a perfect climbing white Rose. I do dream of such. Best wishes, Lux....See MoreWould like some feedback on my master bedroom (pics)
Comments (17)jejvtr: Thanks for the complements on my bedroom, though it's still in the "getting the bones right" stage--as is the rest of my house. This forum has been so helpful--you cannot imagine! I can see a rug working in this room as well. I remember your lovely dining room drapes and I also like pinch pleats on a decorative rod. For so long I was thinking I had to use a double rod and I did not want 2 rows of rings--plus I do not like clips. However, a salesperson told me at RH that I can use loop rings (or simply remove the clips and use them as loop rings)--which then got me rethinking the rod setup. Then today I was looking at a website that mentioned a layered treatment with a traverse rod below and a decorative above--which again got me thinking as that way I won't have 2 layers of rings and I have much more choice of rods! Regarding the mirror, I don't think I will have room for both it and the TV, plus we also put in 2 mirrored closet doors in the room (not in the pics). What do you think of Les' suggestions for a vase and table lamp? I'm really not sure what would be better--center or off to the side. Hope some others chime in on that one--or perhaps squirrel will kindly do a few mock ups for me--pretty please....See MoreWould like help posting my listing but can't get you there!

Comments (8)Your views are wonderful. I would not feature the den/office as it looks teeny-tiny. I would only mention the first floor laundry, not list a picture as it is nothing *wow*. Your master bedroom looks very small. Is there any way to take a picture to make it look larger? In contract, Bedroom #2 looks bigger, brighter and just... better. The master should look better than the secondary bedroom. The living room looks small. All the furniture is pushed to the walls and there seems to be too much for the space. I'd remove the TV stand in the corner (just for the picture), move the rocker to that corner, and retake the picture. See if the room now looks better. Your bathroom picture is less than good. Do you have a master bath? Does it look better than the pic you have listed? From the pictures you have listed, if it were me I'd pick these 12: ⢠maplewood farm ⢠view south on a clearer day ⢠a better master bedroom pic ⢠bedroom #2 ⢠a better living room picture ⢠screen porch inside (definitely not that outside pic) ⢠2-3 kitchen pictures (as that is clearly gonna help sell the house) ⢠playroom ⢠either the upper mayfield or lower meadow ⢠a better bathroom pic...See Moreaprilneverends
