Teasing Georgia (AUSbaker/'P/27/88') climber rose bred in the UK 1987. This rose is just amazing in my garden. The yellow, apricot shading, light yellow edges multi-petal 3.25" blooms are gorgeous with moderate fragrance, and it's very healthy and blooms non stop in my garden. It is a must have rose for any garden.
Strawberry Hill (Ausrimini) climbing rose bred in 2001 and introduced in 2006 in the UK . Quick repeat, very healthy, beautiful 3.5” blooms and nice fragrance. It‘s the best performer in my garden. Helen

Comments (13)Caldonbeck, those photos are beautiful. Love the petals on top of the boxwood hedge - so evocative. I have CPM and TG both. TG is an established huge shrub - it's magnificent. CPM is about 22 months old - it'll be 2 in April. It's beautiful too. Both bloom about the same for me. I think CPM is more fragrant of the two. Mine is in a terrible spot: half the year in the sun, half the year in the shade of a building - in bad soil. It's impervious to these things. I think TG would be too. I think they're both great roses. LEH is new, I just put the bare root bushes in about a 2 weeks ago. I saw it in my friend Hoovb's garden and "had to have it". It will be a much smaller plant than the other two. It is also much, much more fragrant. It's fragrance is so powerful that it affects your sense of taste as well, at the back of your mouth, as you sniff it. I can hardly wait 'til ours bloom!...See MoreFRAGRANT Roses!

Comments (23)Hi Jim: It's dark & rainy here, but at least warmer today. Found out that my winter gloves are made in China. I had to reverse them inside-out, then hand-wash them. I should had bought the more expensive cut-resistant gloves, I got the cheap one for $8, and found that it's made in China. I'm still taking NOW omega-3 fish-oil pills, but 1 hour before bed ... always have great vivid dreams that way. The night I skip the fish-oil, my sleep quality isn't the best. I'm vitamin-D deficient so I try to eat more eggs & mushroom .. these are rich in vitamin-D. Recently found out that runny-eggs are more nutritious than cooked eggs. Our favorite TV-show is Masterchef junior ... these young cooks really teach me a few things: like soft-boil eggs take 3 min., and how to use the mandolin to slice RAW veggies....See MoreStrange Growth on Teasing Georgia
Comments (20)Nik, the brush killers are you mention indeed more effective against poison oak (and its evil cousin poison ivy east of the Rocky Mountains) than RoundUp is. My DH Tom is an amateur radio enthusiast and he has a couple of retractable antenna towers in the back part of the property, one in the midst of a bed of roses and the other further back outside the fence behind an old stable. We had that area out in the back cleared of poison oak with a Bobcat (small bulldozer) about ten years ago so he would be able to work there. Now it is just the new sprouts and bird seedings that I must work against. RU works fine for that tender growth, and as Catspa explained, it is less persistent in the environment, which is my reason for choosing it. If I did not work on the poison oak every year it would right back to where it was very quickly. Much of this area is a steep hillside, barely walkable, though it is level where the tower is. This is one of the places I have been planting trees. So far in this area two Quercus douglasi (blue oak), three Pinus sabiniana (ghost pine), a Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine), Cupressus arizonica 'Blue Ice' (Arizona cypress 'Blue Ice'), Pinus brutia eldarica (Afghan pine), and a Cedrus deodar (deodar cedar) have survived and even thrived, though a number of my earlier attempts failed. It is brutal out there, and I won't water past the second year. Well, maybe one or two waterings for a couple years longer in a really bad drought year. I think I could squeeze in one or two more trees, and perhaps I will, but I will wait a while. Because of our low rainfall, trees must be spaced well apart so that each has its own area from which to pull water. I'm just grateful that we have enough water to grow trees. I love them as much as I love roses. I don't kid myself that these trees will suppress poison oak altogether even when they are grown because poison oak is quite a shade tolerant plant. However it probably would not get enough light to form a solid six-foot-high thicket like the one that was here before. As for the vast ocean of shoulder-high milk thistles, my thought is that if I can spray enough to keep any from going to seed, we will eventually exhaust the seed bank that has built up in the soil. I hope that is true. We have already switched from discing for fire prevention to mowing, so we aren't stirring up the seeds anymore. And it is less shade tolerant than the poison oak is, so I am hopeful about shade suppression as well. I call my garden 'Hundred Roses' as a play on the name of the town of Thousand Oaks in the southern part of the state. But it has quite recently occurred to me that I could just as easily have called it 'Two Towers' in honor of Tom's antenna towers. Rosefolly...See MoreTell me about Teasing Georgia
