If you could plant only one climber, which would it be?
Comments (16)If you want bullet-proof disease resistance in a climber, the once-blooming ramblers are the best way to go. No repeat bloomer I have can compete with the number of flowers (and the fragrance!) that I get with Leontine Gervais, or Alberic Barbier, or Paul Transon ... I couldn't possibly forget Arcata Pink Globe (stunning!) ... I could go on and on. There are SOOO many to choose from. Since you want repeat, chemical-free maintenance, and Zone 6 hardiness, your choices diminish considerably. Let me suggest Climbing Pinkie as one alternative. In the garden here, the foliage has above average disease resistance, few thorns, lovely pink flowers in a huge spring flush, with scattered summer bloom and a moderate fall flush. Do not plant Zephirine Drouhin if you have any sort of blackspot pressure. She will be completely naked by July. Peggy Martin is another rose that I really like. My PM is 4 years old and I get a huge spring flush and, in the last two years, scattered flowers throughout most of the year. The foliage is very disease resistant. Peggy Martin and Climbing Pinkie want to make mounds, so growing them on a stone wall may be perfect. A more mannerly, stiff climber that hasn't been mentioned here, that may do well without fungicide, is Compassion. It was a star in my fall garden, with huge clusters of flowers and healthy, dark green leaves. I'm on the colder end of Zone 7a, and Compassion does well for me ... so does Parade, for that matter. One more suggestion that just came to mind is White Cap. Good disease resistance, beautiful white flowers, sweet scent, and not too rampant in its habit. It's a great rose.

Comments (4)I do have the Garmin GPS Golf Watch and absolutely love it! I've been known to drive back home to get it because I forgot to put it on. Of course, it only takes me about 6 minutes for the round trip. I've now trained myself not to have a watch on in the morning so that if I look at my wrist to check the time, I'll know I'm missing something. He can upgrade but I find this one to be all I need. It's also a regular watch and an odometer so if you go for a walk, you know exactly how far you've walked. I love, love, it. What a wonderful and generous gift!...See MoreIf you were to recommend only one hosta it would be........
Comments (52)Moccasin, thanks for the guess. I googled Abigua ambrosia and while the leaf looks very similar, my blooms are pure white. Not knowing just what you have is part of the "fun" of starting from seed. I also have a large leaf blue with pale violet flowers also from stolen seed (it starts really blue in spring, but gets too much sun/light to stay that way). I play the name-that-hosta game from time to time but so many are so similar, I have resigned myself to knowing it will always be a guess. FYI, I chalk my seed success to planting dozens upon hundreds of seeds, in garden soil, in a big pot. Some years are luckier than others. pk...See MoreToilet won't flush after being turned back on.
Comments (14)Hmmm. I opine that it's unlikely that the solution is directly related to turning off the water, and that one should look for a blockage that may have occurred, and this is somehow a personal affront? You are correct. You should ignore me. I'm simply posting for the benefit of others who may have a similar issue in the future and might want to know where best to direct their efforts. After you've had more experience on these forums, you may find that people who choose to be unnecessarily offended tend to get less help. P.S.: And if you find out there is somehow a connection to turning off the water, then I'd love to know I was wrong, because that would be educational....See Moresephia_wa
