I grow 15 different ribes in zone 7-8  plenty of chilling hours (below 45°F). Likely they need a few hundred hours or possibly as much as 1000. Cool partly shaded from west, heat. Maritime climes are cool and likely preferred.  We have 20 native ribes species Western Cascades, Washington. Its 65°F. Average high in July and August. Sufficient chilling and geat tolerance is the question. I know many ribes that are fine with dry heat of 90 to 105°F. But they get plenty of chilling hours.    Because I ship out to many states I am still questioning thd yield of fruiting plants in zone 9-10. Please help! Any NAFEX members out there doing the science of trialing?    Gil Schieber of Skipley Farm

It's very similar looking to the papaya and is more cold tolerant but must still be protected from frost. It's a high altitude plant but did very well in the heat over the summer here. The taste is supposed to be a bit different, milder then a regular papaya, with hints of strawberry and pineapple. The mature fruit is 8-12" long and has a pentagonal shape. The skin is also edible. It turns from green to yellow when ripe. It does produce side shoots which are removed except for 1 that you allow to grow to replace the main stem after a few years. The old stem can then be removed and cut into sections for rooting. I'm actually rooting one now and it seems to be fairly easy to do. My fruit was about 9" when I knocked it off and still very green. I cut it open and the flesh was white. At that point it had almost no taste. Hopefully I'll get to try one this year. I got mine from CA. I think that's about the only place they are widely available. I've seen them on Ebay from one seller and he was getting up to $100 for a cutting!!! I got 2, one from a friend that sent me a cutting and the other a different friend picked up at a nursey for under $20 for a 1 gal plant, both from CA.

Can someone ID these roses, I would appreciate it Thank you ☺️

It would help to ask your husband where he got the roses and that will help with the ID. It's plausible that this could be Grateful Heart though I tend to think of that rose more on the pink side of red than orange. Cynthia
