Thanks everyone. And to think I was going to leave gilmar in the store, last one and all. Blanca- Your Rio Negro pic looks almost exactly like my flower, thanks for that. Mariae- I also got my Grandeur from edens blooms. Do you remember if he was selling Rio Negro on his site or E-Bay? Juan- Nice photos! That is what I was expecting from Grandeur and I think you found the name for for the other one. They are very close Thanks!

Gorgeous blooms.Love that Beautiful Edgeings.Its been on my Wish List for a long time.I have a friend has one thats very simular to this one,and going to share a fan with me.Thanks for sharing all your beauties. Jean

They look great Beth!! I love your Paradise Found!! Mine (overwintered last winter in garage) has buds just about to pop!!! It didn't do anything last year - and now it has about 5 buds on it. So definitely not a vigorous rose for you or me. Midnight Blue has screaming color!! I just love it!! Lobo is another of my favs of yours. So perfectly pink in every way!! I love how you always have roses I've never heard of!! Love them all and thanks!! Carol

Beth for Kya, what you�ll need to do is train the leave it command...Anytime Kya gets anywhere near the sprinkler or any rose bush you shout "leave it", and then the working command come! to substitute the behavior and give her a small treat or a good play tuggy session. Tuggy whether it's a soft toy or a tennis ball attached to the rope allows Kya to work off her Border Collie side of the gene pool by tugging and growling and shaking that tuggy. Most B.Cs love tuggies because they get eye contact with their owner and a real hand to body interaction with their owner.... We adore you here Inga, (rosie smiles and hugs) but hehe, that muzzle suggestion would throw most Border Collie owners into seizures because BCS are extremely hyper-sensitive dogs. And my Eluane is now cringing and trembling in her corner. Also people need to understand the Border Collie's obsession with chasing and herd water. Never run the sprinklers while she is in the backyard. Save it for pre-dawn with a set timer. Take a look at this link.. It tells the whole story, about how water spraying makes B.Cs go cuckoo. They think of it as time to pounce attack and play! Beth the only reason why I didn't tell you this right away was because I wanted to be sure everyone wrote their fan replies on your beautiful roses first before I derailed everyone on Border Collie issues, lol! Border Collies and Sprinklers Once you own a border collie or a B.C. mix great efforts have to be made to understand the breed so that you can really enjoy them and understand how to work with them.... They require tons of time and attention to train but they are so brilliant. Border collies do not settle down until 3.5 years of age and even when they do settle, to be a truly happy dog, an owner has to be able to give them a job to do and to engage them as much as possible. They were always meant to accompany a shepherd 24-7. That is why one has to treat them as if you were their shepherd. That's why most owners have to do things like dog agility, frisbee competitions that sort of thing....But with BCs you get endless devotion and excitement, lol! Life never gets boring when one owns a border collie! :D
