For a substitute for the 'Apothecary Rose', try the 'Portland Rose' (alias 'Portlandica'; but please don't call it 'Duchess of Portland'! No one called it that until the 20th Century). Here in coastal Southern California, it doesn't re-bloom (at least, it doesn't for me), but it does bloom dependably once a year with its big blossoms of a happy bright cerise. The leaves color nicely in the Fall. It's a modest and charming rose which somehow just has a more likeable personality than many of the more ambitious roses.

I would stay in St. Augustine. Or if that's too far away, St. Augustine Beach. Both places have many motels. St. Augustine has a lot of B&B's.

Custom pool quotes depend on many different aspects.You have to take into account the access you have for machinery,weather you will be hauling the dirt away or keeping it on site,what type of pool you are getting the estimate for(gunnite,fiberglas,ect),what type of tile they include,what type of plaster they use,how long the company is in buisness. How long they have been in buisness is important. It really does reflect in the price. You will pay more for that in S Florida because their are so many companies right now with no idea of how to run a pool buisness. They sell the jobs cheap and rely on building a lot of pools to make a profit wich never happens because things go wrong. A good number to use in PB for a pool that size is 225 dollars a linear foot(120 linear foot @ 225) plus decking(6.50 per square),permit(1000),saftey fence(16 per linear foot),sun shelf(450).

If the threads are polyester you can forget them bleaching out....I'm sure everyone has had a bleach accident....lets look at that bleach spill on your favorate jeans, its white..take a closer look. Hold a clean white piece of clothing up to that white bleached spot and you will see its not white afterall. Cottons, linens and even wool do not start out snowy white, the manufacturer actually treats the white fabric to make it appear whiter than white with optical brighteners...they know it won't wash out because you need to look far and wide to find a OB free detergent, yes its in most detergents so every time you wash that white textile your reapplying the OB's to keep it snowy white. So even if the chlorine bleach managed to strip all the colors you are going to be left with splotchy streaky ranging from yellowish to cream.. Think you'll find the Rit dye remover is used to prep textiles prior to dyeing.
