Gloire de Dijon from High Country Roses-for Josh
Comments (20)Yikes, I get a strange feeling when about to land something great. It's easy to be pulled in every rose direction, especially in Spring when the photos start to roll in. My 80 year old Japanese neighbor, the ultimate gardening mentor was disgusted with my pitiful dirt patch of two bristly shrubs three years ago when I moved in next to her artistically sculpted garden. She suggested "Get some color " so I bought a few pansies that struggled. Winter came and went . Spring she stood back and shook her head as I planted seeds, " You think their gonna grow?" To both our amazement the Nasturtium seeds I planted liked the poor dirt and North exposure. I bought a grocery store mini red rose that did terrible, a blackspot factory. Then the past summer my small garden and the two older ladies' front yards next to me that I planted, exploded with color as I spent way too much money and effort trying to do something productive for the community. Voraciously reading Antique Rose Forum daily, I went rose overboard in a good way- my neighbor smiled "Now that's how a rose is supposed to smell." This coming growing season I want to do what was always put on hold and squeezed out while I took care of other things. If I can have only a few roses to elevate my apartment backyard to an ethereal plane to escape to, I believe Gloire de Dijon is the rose for the task. I like to go out in the back yard alone to look out over the mountains, but it's probably going to become a drawing place where the parents with their kids, old ladies in their baking aprons, the young maintenance guys will take in Gloire de dijon for what roses do best. Thanks for convincing me I was right about this rose but didn't know it. Linda...See More2005 What's on your Order list?

Comments (131)Since we're posting links to our kitchens this was the partially finished reveal back in 2010 to my condo. It showed the before and after. I sold the condo this past May. Here are a few pics from it completely finished and staged. (What's missing are the Mission studio lights over the bar area and the Arroyo Craftsman sconces in the dining room, since we removed those and put less expensive lights for selling. The Mission Studio lights will be going in our new build)....See MoreEveryday bloom thread - Post what is blooming for you today
