Red and Mauve Old Roses with longest vase life?
Comments (3)Ulrich Brunner Fils meets your criteria, Lux. It is healthy here, even this year when every Portland (except Jacque Cartier) decided to get rust all of a sudden, many other types got PM, and a few got novel fungi I've never even seen before at this place (most of this, thankfully, has passed). UBF stayed clean through it all. Wants to be tall but I prune it like a hybrid tea and it is fine with that. It gives long-stemmed bouquets that last quite well in a vase, nice heavy scent. Oh -- and it has no thorns!...See Morefragrant roses with longest vase life
Comments (3)I have a Scent From Above..climbing. Now..the blooms last longer than any of the other roses I have. The Scent is quite nice and I was amazed at how long the blooms lasted in a vase! However, that said, it's the one rose that seemed to have more aphids and such. I had to prune more than I'd planned throughout the summer...but..the main branches have grown quite tall. It seemed to struggle more than all the others but the darn thing just this week had another flush!! I'm going to put a little more effort in to it next year..I was so busy with my Austins this year. It's a lovely rose however and I've seen pics where others seem to have been able to help it along! Good Luck!!...See MoreFragrant rose with longest vase life?
Comments (122)Actually, Gorey wrote and illustrated many bizarre books, and his home is a museum on Cape Cod, I believe. I got Clare one of his books for Christmas a couple of years ago. It was about these strange children, and I think it was written in verse. It was called The Gashlycrumb Tinies. I talked to Clare a bit about your poems and book. She said getting them self published by Amazon's publishing company is easy. Then I forgot to get her to write down the details. But I think if you go on Amazon's website and hunt around, you'll find info on self publishing. I've seen the info many times. Clare was interested in the illustration idea, and I want to talk to her more about it. She's deep in a job right now, illustrating software on teaching children to read, and the publisher/editor who hired Clare keeps making the work more elaborate and changing things. Clare's stress level is building dealing with this person. Say....this thread is a great place to have private conversations I've noticed. Heehee. Maybe I should post a rose photo.

Comments (11)there's actually ANOTHER rose growing in there. I just noticed it. what. it's really really cool, too, it was yellow and orange and looked like a little blossoming fireball at the end of a stem. never seen one like it. if I could root THAT one... man... I've counted what should be at least five nodes on the thing, too. and I'm talking ROBUST growth, this one's even got another little bud forming. this is awesome. if I change the water frequently and give it some light fertilizer, do you think I've got a chance? it was also pretty much prepared well as a cutting to begin with, the leaves of the bottom few nodes were stripped, but the top node has tremendous growth on it. think I should re-cut the stem or just leave it? it was cut several weeks ago and looks a little bit fuzzy, but I don't really want to mess with it. I think I'll just change the water and stop fretting :)...See MoreKrista_5NY
