The post has been more than 6 years......I try my best with some of them: Yue Yue Hong (literally: Month Month Red) 月月红 Dong Mei Zhi Zi (Son of Winter Plum) 冬梅之子 Chi Dan Hong Xin (Red Courage and Heart) 赤胆红心 Pu Tao Hong (Grape Red) 葡萄红 Zi Yan Fei Wu (Purple Swallow Fly Dancing) 紫燕飞舞 Sai Zhao Jun (Name of a fictional figure) 赛昭君 Yi Bang Fen (One Stick Powder) 一棒粉 Fen Zhuang Lou (Name of an ancient Chinese novel, literally means: Vanity Mansion) 粉妆楼

My Mme. Laurette Messime is from Chamblee's, in 2002. It doesn't look like the 'real' MLM, as I can't detect any yellow on the petal bases. But it certainly is a fine, happy rose. I'm NW of SA, & have only been here ~4 yrs. Previously lived sw of Houston, about 30 yrs. Old Blush here is new, an ARE plant. It's about 3.5' tall, a bit narrower & blooms all the time, in full sun. I hauled MLM up from the old place. She's about the same height, about 3.5' wide. I also added Natchitoches Noisette last year--it's been a heavy bloomer, very happy rose in full hot sun. If you want some baby plants, I've been running a bunch of cuttings under mist & have Little White Pet, Clotilde Soupert, Mme. Laurette Messime, Old Blush, Marie Pavie, a few teas, etc. These are little just-rooted babies, but if you'd like some, e-mail me & I can send in a couple of months when it's cooler.

Nice, probably Mexican pine, but nothing special and definitely not antique. I'd price it at about 30% of what a similar piece sells for new. "Made in Mexico" means it was made for export. Made for use in Mexico says "Hecho en Mexico" or has no marks at all.

I have decided to get the royal Albert lady Carlyle mainly because the tea cup is so cute and a lot more feminine looking than the noritake one plus the pattern is so beautiful! I had my eyes on this pattern for a while now and i thought it was discontinued but to my surprise it was still sold on the royal Albert website for even cheaper than ebay!! thank you for all your help! I can't wait to have tea parties with my girlfriends:))
