Comments (16)Lovely babies Aimee! How is your Sombreuil doing, I believe yours and mine are of the same age. :D I like your La France, it is so lovely when the petal sides differ in color! Mme. Berard looks lovely too, I am slowly getting convinced to get her after all. :D About Penelope's fragrance, some of my musks are sneaky and produce fragrance during the night/morning - today I went out early in the morning and my Paul's Himalayan Musk was secretly scenting all parking lot! And now in the end of the day he had almost no fragrance at all....See MoreFor Jeri- Grandmother's Hat
Comments (1)Buff, I hope she continues to flourish for you, and is not overly troubled by blackspot. If she can handle your climate, you won't find many roses more productive and winning. Jeri...See MoreGrandmother`s Hat
Comments (9)thank you so much! I called Anni`s Annuals, but they didn`t have any. When they have them, they are the one gallon size, and they don`t ship them and I live in Nevada. Then I called Rogue Valley Roses, and they are also out, but plan on having some bare root Grandmother`s Hat in the fall. So now I am on their list to get one. I am glad to hear they root easily. I might try rooting one, if and when I get it. So thanks again....See MoreGrandmother's Hat not looking so great --
Comments (19)Ingrid, I do agree! I have learned so much here. I don't think I'd even have roses if not for you-all, and I know I wouldn't have rose babies that I've propagated myself! Grandma Update: You know how you can have a chronic malady and you keep delaying a trip to the doctor, and then the day of your appointment, the malady mysteriously -- resolves? You don't? Well, you know how for weeks and weeks your hair will look like the dog's breakfast, and then you finally get an appointment at the hair salon and are all excited, and you wake up the morning of your appointment and your hair is PERFECT?? That's -- sort of what happened this evening. I went out to water the roses and my gosh, what a surprise, I found that Grandma is suddenly pushing out lots more leaflets and some farther down the stems, and canes that (I thought) two days ago were showing NO life actually are showing many tiny little pink and green tips. AND there was a big fat gorgeous open bloom, and another small one. Gram's foliage still looks pallid, and yes, her legs are bare a good ways up, but things look far less bleak. I did bend and tie out some canes and branches so they're not all just shooting up vertically. I will keep a closer eye on Grandma and remember to keep up with the nutrition and extra water. Hopefully, she'll green up and maybe there will be a new basal one of these days. But at least I can see that she's not in a complete free-fall now. Thanks much to everyone for the very helpful information and advice today. Sheba...See MoreUser
