Trying the new photo-posting thingy
Comments (20)Hi Rosies- Someone asked how old my roses are, well, some are 30-35 years old, the Dons are old, also Queen Elizabeth, also Summer Snow (there are 6 of them) also China Dolls, 6-7 of them in the front, others are 10-15 years old.... they are mostly all on Fort. I have some new OGRs from FSC, on Fort. also, certified virus-free due to their heat-treat program, planted this time last year and they are going like gang-busters, right out of the gate they surge and Cl. Devoniensis is 15 ft.tall, Mrs. BR Cant is right up there, I'll see if I can attach another pic of that bed..the bed in the front on the left is KOs, the OGRs are further on w/the new walkway thru' the center... Cal took these pics in April and they have grown a lot more since then..thanks , sally...See MoreTrying to post a photo of my brug bloom
Comments (10)Regina, I don't know enough about it myself, but all along, I've had the bottom leaves turning yellow. Probably like 1 or 2 per week or so and I just cut them off. They keep putting more leaves out. Anyone with any more Brug experience out there that may know if we are doing something wrong? Also, my flower has none of the wonderful scent that I've heard about. Even at night, I have gotten down on my knees next to it, and I really just smell a slight fragrance. Maybe different types have more powerful scents.

Comments (22)Lilyfinch, to be honest I wing it as far as the lines of the beds. I use an edger shovel and eyeball it. I want to be outside right now cleaning up edges and getting rid of sod by the fence but I injured my ankle at crossfit yesterday and I am beyond annoyed with myself. I had tweaked it Monday but Tuesday it felt fine, yesterday I did a bunch of skaters and boom! My ankle told me it was very angry. Sigh. The weather was gorgeous yesterday in the mid seventies so I sat on the porch and daydreamed about the changes I want to make. I REALLY want to find the black and white anemone corms for sale but the only place I can find online that sells them to anyone has been sold out for months on end. I find the hardest part of gardening to be restraining myself. I ADORE formal English gardens which are so full of boxwoods and single varieties planted in multitudes but then I also want a cutting garden with all kinds of blue-based reds and purples and whites and pinks. The other side of the house by the AC unit has morning sun until noon and then afternoon shade, perfect for my hydrangea obsession. Unfortunately the ac units drain so much water that it floods the bed, I rigged up a hose to pipe it away into the grass but not until I realized how bad it was, AFTER my hydrangea all got terrible blackspot, which is pretty rare on a hydrangea. They are recovering slowly. The five hydrangea here in early April are blushing brides. The Japanese Maple was $5 from Lowe's, it had frost damage from a late frost after things had leafed out so I snatched it up because I adore coral barked Japanese Maples. I didn't take many pics of this area, I thought I had but I just checked and no such luck. Here is a close-up of one of the blushing bride's from June And now, they had been so full and covered in blooms but the added water just wrecked them. The rose on the left is about twenty years old, and don't tell anyone, but I kind of hate it. My old co-worker gave it to me because it wasn't happy in her yard, she wasn't sure what variety it is, some sort of David Austin. While it blooms regularly for me, the blooms don't smell like anything and they fall apart within a day, and they are only about an two-three inches wide or less. Meh....See MoreI will try to post one photo
Comments (12)Kay, glad to see you got Jelly Roll Morton posted it appears the new update is finally settling down. If I recall, every time Houzz does this it takes a few days and then things work. I wonder if our complaining helps? Sherry...See MoreSheila z8a Rogue Valley OR
