Thank you cactusmcharris! I do give mostly rain water with 1/4 strength go-juice, err, DynaGro Foliage Pro at each watering, esp since most of my c&s are in gritty mix. Thanks for the info on the leaves, I was looking at some online pictures and some examples had very plump leaves and some didn't. ewwmayo - Thank you, my tag looks like it ends with an m or something, I'll have to look again when I get home to see if it's got the correct name now that you all have confirmed the type. fakechuchi - I would like more of them too! I love all of the pics posted and your Botterboom is gorgeous! Where have you managed to find yours?? I just happened to find these two at the same nursery but several week apart, their inventory is always changing. tropicofcancer - PIG'd is planted in ground as opposed to being in a pot. I'd love to hear where others find these more unusual varieties as well, they aren't found in the big box stores. Do you have any local nurseries you could try?

True but I wish I can go but I have to work. Yeah, Jeff and Debbie has more roses there than on line...esp antiques which I was shocked. I ask Jeff why it is not on line but he do sell them to locals and rose society. That was how I ended up getting Maggie which was not on line on whatsoever. Any one of you guys have Cliff Richard's rose from Jeff ,? I love it. The colour and scent. Here are the pics Ignore my fence it will be replaced this year... hopefully :) One of you guys recommend that rose and I love it very much. It has no BS and the rose never balls or anything like that esp we got nearly a month of heavy rain. I am amazed by it. Thanks for recommending this rose !! Jin

Good point Bruce regarding the anticipation of buyers asking for an allowance to do things. I will bring this up to DH. Most of the upstairs has been detail cleaned. I have a few more little things to finish. As I re-read the posts above, shellac keeps coming up. I need to paint the side of the cabinets next to the stove where the years of crud had built up. It's cleaned, but I think the sealer will help. I don't know about the rest of the lower cupboards. I hope that the lower drawers and cabinets smell better after I used the Pinesol on them. I'll be going over today. The drawers look like they have always been covered. But still that old wood smell is present. I might mix up a bleach solution today and wipe things down if they still smell. The uppers are painted inside, but someone years ago toweled on some sort of adhesive and glued down thick card stock type shelf liner. Who glues down shelf liner. Its curling at the edges, and I've made a mess of it trying to get it out. I'm going to buy some of the nice shelf liner for the uppers and cover it up. I have fresh coffee grounds to place in the cupboards - someone suggested that for odor control. The outside of the house has been washed. The small flower beds have been stripped and mulched. Looks tidy. Termite guy has finished the job. Do people leave the refrigerator running while the house is being shown. Its an older small fridge but its been well cleaned, thought still has an odor inside. I could use bleach water to wipe down that too. Dishwasher has been sanitized with a fair amount of bleach this last cycle. I used a bleach containing Cascade liquid too. But I did pour in about a cup of chlorine bleach in the pre-wash and ran it on "pots and pans". The rinse water was spotless. I made an error on calling the siding steel. Its aluminum. Needs painting very badly, but I believe its in good shape otherwise.
