Reverence for Roses sale!
Comments (5)Thanks for the heads up; I ordered 4 roses, and- as suggested- added some alternates in the comments field. Apparently, the software does not always "know" when something's out of stock. They have a nice selection, and I've seen some impressive photos of orders received by forum members- the plants looked large and healthy... Here's a link to info- in rather small print in my browser- about the sale: http://www.areverenceforroses.com/Articles.asp?ID=253 Virginia...See MoreSale at A reverence for roses
Comments (106)Those look great GAgal! Sheila, I love your scenic pic of Crep!. We're still on roller coaster weather...was 80 last weekend, but supposed to have lows in the mid 30's this weekend. No hard freeze yet, but lots of stuff in the garden looking tired and ragged these days (including me...lol). Here are a couple of pics of the Mrs R M Finch I received from ARFR earlier this year. I wasn't familiar with the rose, and their website pic didn't really entice me, but my dad's initials were RMF. He's been gone for several years now, and mom still misses him terribly. So thought I would get the rose to grow for mom to enjoy as Mrs RMF (I left off the "inch" in Finch when telling her its name and take her little bouquets of blooms from it often). It has rarely taken a break from blooming since I got it. Here it is in August...2 months after receiving it (summer blooms turn from pink to white quickly): And here is a partial shot I took Monday morning before work (blooms hold their pink for a good while in cool weather):...See MoreOctober
Comments (26)Very good quote, Jeri. I was tempted to snap up every bargain I could at the rose auction, but thought I’d better not. It may have been a blessing in disguise that it was so hot out. I tend to be more realistic when faced with frantic watering, just so I can go somewhere. Ingrid, I hope YOU are staying out of this heat as well. Unfortunately, I had fallen behind in watering over the weekend. My daughter, (Ingrid:) and I are leaving at 6:30 this morning to welcome a new baby in Bakersfield. Yesterday was a day of constant in and out in the heat, moving the hose. I had no choice, but to do it in the heat of the day. I’m sure we will stay indoors, taking care of mother and new baby, so perhaps I can recover there. This sort of weather just is very draining. Things should begin to cool down slowly, starting today. It can’t come soon enough for me or the roses. DdB won’t be starring in any wedding bouquets anytime again soon. She looks terrible again. I’m glad yours doesn’t suffer the powdery mildew that mine does. It must be the shade yours gets, and/or yours is a better one. I believe mine came from Chamblees. Mine may produce more blooms than yours, but what’s the use when the bush looks like junk? Your SdlM’s also look much better than mine. Mine is only two, and still quite small. She also gets some PM, but nothing like the Duchesse. Do yours not get any? Your photos show her to be perfectly grown. As always, all your pictures are incredible.

Comments (42)Perma: Yes, an antique rose is much more than just a rose. It's history, it's romance, it's beauty, it's fragrance, it's science, it's life, it's culture, it's poetry, it's magic. It's a reason to get out of bed in the morning--to look around excitedly to see what bloomed. Like you this is basically my only indulgence. I've been frugal by necessity for decades. This is really the only thing I've done for myself and I don't feel guilty for spending the money. What's stopping me now is I have no sunny space left to put them and I am really pushing it on shade tolerance with many of them already. Ingrid: I agree. I think the future will be worse than those forecasts. Jin: Yes, with money just about anything in the garden is possible. I could spend thousands easily in the garden. Every year! I want to fix my paths and get some flowering plants that are shade tolerant. Maybe a bunch of encore azaleas for starters. I'm eventually going to have to shift my focus to shade gardening because for every square foot of sun I have about 200 square feet in shade. I really wish I could get as worked up over shade plants as I am for antique roses. As an aside, my crape myrtles are all blooming now and they are really beautiful but they do not make my heart go pitter patter like my roses do....See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
