They are starting... I just dropped 100 bux today at Bradford Garden Gallery. All their bulbs are half price now.

By the way, the seeds are White Japanese Rose Rosa rugosa 'alba' Red Japanese Rose Rosa rugosa 'rubra' Father David's Rose Rosa davidii Father Hugo Rose Rosa hugonis The Rugosa's say they hip very well, will the others do the same? Can you grow them by stem cuttings? Can I pollenate and collect there pollen for Hybrid Teas, Floribundas and those types of roses?

I make jewelry and have lots and lots of stones and glass beads and findings. I bought a bunch of the plastic drawer sets on casters at Joanne Fabrics or at other hobby-type shops. I then bought some plywood at Lowes and had them cut it to the right size to make tops for the drawer sets. I took the wood home and sanded the ends smooth and then put on a nice dark stain and several layers of polyurethane. Then I went to Joanne's and chose a beautiful fabric that matched the family room. I really hate sewing hems, so I used Tacky Glue and folded back the heavy fabric and glued the hems and side seams. I made skirts for the drawer sets, stapling them to the plywood tops. You can then glue ric-rack or rope trim to hide the staples. I made the fabric into a flap in front of the drawers, but mostly just made straight, heavy skirts that were stapled to the tops. Then the top just sits on top of the drawer set. I sat plants on one, family pictures on another. Using this idea, you can hide all kinds of small things. They make the drawer sets in tall, narrow sizes, as well, so you might be able to find a space in the corner of a guest room or den to put one.

No idea where you are located or what your zone is so I can't comment on the plant-out date info. But 2 weeks after last frost date is pretty standard recommendation - weather permitting of course. All depends on what your soil temps are at that time. But if you have had flea beetle decimation in the past then the bigger the plant is when planted out into their world the better it will survive. Or you can just use row covers on them as many of us do until the short flea beetle season passes.
