Comments (7)The Vinca Jams & Jellies Blackberry is an excellent choice! An AAS winner that we have been growing in our trials for several years (in Michigan!)I am including a link to AAS - please note that this is NOT a company or an advertisement. AAS is a non-profit organization that does independent plant trials across North America. Here is a link that might be useful: AAS...See MoreWhat New Plants Have you Bought this Season?
Comments (12)I haven't bought too many this month but I went nuts in Feb and March. 14 new ones in Feb alone. But as far as April and May goes, I've been getting really into cacti and a few succulents. Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri (Easter Cactus) - From Wal-Mart in pretty bad condition, and it wasn't even marked down, but I felt so bad for it that I bought it anyways. It now looks great and won't stop growing! Not that I want it to stop. Dahlia (Stargazer) - Just a seed I planted...one of the few that actually has survived. Agave of some sort - Still haven't been able to get an ID on this one. Frustrating, but I'll forgive it 'cause it's a neat looking plant. Echinocereus enneacanthus - I call it my Killer Cactus. Hehe. Stetsonia coryne (Toothpick Cactus) - This one's a killer cactus too, but the name was taken by above cactus. Hildewinteria aureispina (Golden Rat Tail) - I saw a larger version of this plant that I really liked, but I love to buy small and watch them grow really big by my hand so I found just a little one. Aloe striata (Coral Aloe) - Everyone pray for me. I have no luck with aloes, but I thought it was so neat I had to have it, and like Crotons I thought that if I tried enough times I'd get the hang of them. Codiaeum variegatum (Mammy) - I was telling myself no more plants for a while, but this one was half price at Superstore. What can I say...the addiction kicked in. And citosa, I'm totally jealous of you. I want an Adenium obesum so bad. I looked on Ebay for some seeds and I found a ton, but I just don't trust anyone over the internet....See MorePlanting new roses where other roses have been
Comments (3)I would think that one year is too short a time to cause rose replant problems (unless you are a heavy sprayer and have turned your present soil into a lifeless chemical dump). The following link emphasises the importance of having "live" soil.

Comments (14)Soldat I agree with Deb, try some tea roses. An old friend from your area had spectacular luck with the Bermuda mystery roses. I seem to remember, Miss Atwell, Spice, Slater's Crimson China, Safrano, Archduke Charles, Souvenir de Therese Lovet,Mrs. B.R. Cant, Mrs. Dudley Cross, Brightside Cream, Maitland White and Vincent Godsiff. I know she never sprayed, didn't do too much of anything and some of these guys were house eaters. As for me, I don't repeat roses either but the ones that tempt me are Evelyn, ( I know but she does all right for me) Gruss en Coberg, a fine big strapping girl with those gorgeous peach colored blooms, Sutter's Gold--the scent of fresh nectarines is too die for. R'eve d'Or is the finest climber. Crimson Glory and Oklahoma are the best of the smelly reds but Souv. Claudius Denoyal is an amazing red tea with a big smelly scent that I love and no trouble whatsoever. I know I'd get Gertrude Jeykyll if I ever lost her. That scent must be kept and the special order of Grace de Monaco from Vintage is one I ordered the other day because she was just so lovely in the sunshine and impossibly fragrant. No I don't repeat but there are a few I'd definitely replace. Devonienses Clementina Carbonieri Mme. Alfred Carriere la...See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
