Heirloom rose order question
Comments (4)I placed an order with Heirloom yesterday and recieved a confirmation e-mail within minutes of placing my order. This was an order confirmation, not a shipping confirmation. In the email, it stated; Thank you for your online order! This email is an automatic response to the order that you've just placed. Once your order is confirmed by our staff, you will receive an updated confirmation with the expected shipping date information. For your reference, the order you've placed is detailed below. ITEMS ORDERED: FL498 JULIA CHILDT PPAF LC717 DUBLIN BAY® So they should be sending out another email confirmation when the roses are shipped. If you haven't gotten any response since placing your order on Monday, then I would definately call them....See MoreArtist with questions about Heirloom Tomatoes

Comments (10)I looked back into my log records and found that trialed the "Rose" variety in 2001,; I was growing for restaurants at the time. My records indicate I got the seed in a trade from SE PA (indeed, that is Amish country). Some of my end of year ratings were as follows: Folliage desease tolerance/resistance 2.3 on a scale topped at 3.0. (Rutgers rated a 2.0) Size typically 3.5 to 4.5 OD X 2.0 to 2.5 deep. Yield 70% to sales, 20% to sauce or juice. Comments--Shows promise, very good tasting attractive fruits. So, I saved seed and then somehow forgot all about the variety. We were involved at the time in negotiations to sell our orchard and home to a developer, and 2001 was not one of my better managed years! Seeds now out of inventory and on deck for a 2010 growout!...See MoreQuestion about growing and seed-saving of heirlooms
Comments (5)It is NOT "generally thought" as the article claims but is just an opinion, unsubstantiated by any published scientific research. It is sometimes proffered by some amateur horticulturalists who want to justify their growing practices. That they fail to take into consideration all the affecting variables of climate, annual weather, seed saving techniques, growing conditions provided, cross-pollination, genetic purity of seed, the subjective nature of 'taste', etc. pretty much undermines their claims. For example, can they say the same thing if the plants are grown in say Duluth vs. Montevieo, MN with its very different native soil? How about Utah rather than MN? What happens if year 2 of the project is exceptionally wet or exceptionally dry? Dave...See MoreJames Hawes
