Carding Mill??? I don't think so!!! Anyone know what she is?

Hi all, I purchased two Carding Mill from Wayside Gardens back when they were on sale, one bloomed last week, and was perfect. The other is covered in buds, but they are this hot pink, definitely not Carding Mill. Anyone think they know what it might be? Obviously something Wayside carries or has carried in the past, but I just don't know.

I guess either Tess or Darcy. If it is more pink than red then it would be Tess. Darcy is quite a dark red.

I think water rates vary hugely depending on which town you live in. I know there are other cities here in Oklahoma that pay a lot more than we do, and there are some that pay less. We also have no sewer fee here since we're on septic (which comes with its own interesting issues). I think the major difference between the $15-$20 bills we had and the neighbor's $300 bills was that she was running sprinklers on her lawn, almost continuously. An acre and a half is a LOT of grass to water, so we never bother. It's bermuda, so it just goes dormant during dry spells. I've been really impressed with how drought-tolerant some of our shrubs are. Even with the record heat and almost nonexistent rainfall, I only needed to water the established hollies, boxwoods, and photinias once or twice all summer.

Yes they are not really bath salts the ones selling this drug are using that as a marketing tool to try to sell this junk legally, it is not in any way bath salts. Louisiana has been hit really hard with that mess, but they now have the right to bust those selling it and the ones buying it, the laws have to get set up to allow them to stop them from selling these new drugs. Fake 'bath salts' now illegal quote from above "NEW ORLEANS -- In an unprecedented move Thursday designed to stop the sale of phony bath salts, Governor Bobby Jindal announced that six chemical compounds are now illegal. Until Thursday, the bath salts were sold legally at convenience stores across Louisiana. "In my 41 years in law enforcement, this is the most dangerous drug I have encountered," said St. Tammany and Washington Parish District Attorney Walter Reed. "Yet, until today, it has been legal, sold in hundreds of convenience stores across Louisiana and across America."

My motto is "Always leave a p**ing male alone", including DH. And secondly, I am jealous that they can and I can't. I was once in Israel's great southern desert, the Negev, traveling by car with a girlfriend, and we had to go. So we stopped the car and hiked behind a tiny hill with a tiny bush on it. An oncoming truck squealed to a stop and the driver got out, carrying a rifle. He screamed at us "You crazy women, don't you know that there are Bedouin men around here? Next time, hold it in!" Then he stood there with his rifle until we finished, adjusted ourselves, and slinked back to our car embarrassed as heck.

ask the family member^^ to get some ideas of what she enjoys! i love body butter lotion with a light, fresh smell! but its not for everyone. i would get something specifically for her to enjoy or make her life easier in some way. agree with others about the flower idea. i love flowers/succulents - my sister, wants NOTHING to do with any of it. amazon card visa card if she is a tea or coffee drinker: go that route. cast iron tea pot, if she is a tea drinker a set of all occasion cards, so she doesn't have to go to store IOU from you to take care of baby so she go get a hair cut etc... IOU from you to just fold laundry or so she can get a shower in peace - of course if your relationship warrants these^^

Not very good Kimberly, but I grow both of them. Tess is a very unusual color but I do really like this Rose. She has an unusual sent to match at times. I hope you liked her. She could be grown as a short climber if you need something for that.

I got Darcy and Carding Mill from Wayside. I already have Tess. My Darcy is pinkish red but not the same shade as Tess. Carding mill is def orange peach. They were selling lots of Darcy's toward the end of the sale so perhaps its Darcy?

My Tess is own root and huge, 10ft but I keep cutting it back a little but it still grows right back.

well crud! now the closer I look at Darcey on Helpmefind, it could be her too, those look pink and not red, as this one is. i guess it's safe to say it's either Tess or Darcey?

If Wayside sells both, then I would say it could be either. I think it's hard to photograph reds. Are you planting them out right away or are they in pots? Tess will grow very long canes even here in zone 6, whereas Darcey has a much bushier growth.

I'll be growing her in a pot, as I do most all my roses. I guess I'll keep an eye out for any distinguishable characteristics that might narrow it down for me, but either way, knowing it's one of two is perfectly acceptable to me :-) I just didn't want to have a completely unknown if it could be helped :-))
