There is a typo, a space between the p and the df of the ending pdf. Try this one: http://www.huntingtonbotanical.org/Rose/maps/BedInventorybyFragrance.pdf

I'm envious, too! I would strongly urge you to get a map of the London Underground as well for the London area. I was there 10 years ago and there wasn't much we couldn't get to that we wanted to see (including Kew) that wasn't too far from the Tube. (Oh, that we had something like that in L.A.!) And no, it wasn't creepy like you might expect a subway. Of course your mileage may vary, but if you plan ahead, you can take advantage of discounting by buying several days or however it works, I don't remember anymore. London city may be the worst of driving by car so you won't miss anything except angina ;-) We also found the Tube to run often enough for convenience. Whatever you do, Mind the Gap!!!! 'Nother thought in London if you have time, there are walking tours here and there, most meet near a Tube station. Most tour guides have some sort of schedule. We took the evening Jack the Ripper tour by a guy that wrote a book on him, as he was the most recommended. Your taste may vary! But there are all kinds of these for what was reasonable pricing. A good time filler per one's interest and time offered. You might also do the London bus tour early on to get an over view of the city and decide what you'd like to see. If you have time for anything not garden related (!?!), the most wonderful time we had was at the Tower of London / White Tower where King Henry killed many of his wives, and little princes were bricked up in the masonry and so on. As I recall, there are also replicas of the crown jewels, the armory (fascinating!), the tower ravens, and many, many more things. I cannot begin to say what a good time it was and we both wished that we had planned a FULL day to take it all in, imho, if you see nothing else touristy in London, this is a MUST see. The Beefeaters were MOST excellent tour guides. If you're lucky, you might also find one of your relative's names carved in stone before they were executed! Alas, poor cousin Henry T!!! My cousin wanted to go to the pottery district, dunno about pricing with the dollar now, but we both got stuff for ourselves and Christmas presents. We went to Wedgewood only due to time (took the train, I think from Manchester, I'm not sure) but worth a stop for you if it is on your way to somewhere else just for the tour of how they make the china. There are many other companies like Spode in the area so something to check ahead to see if it fits in (if you do buy, we had our pieces shipped home). Nowadays with these shops more common over here and online, I dunno that it's worth to stop to buy except for the memory, but again, the tour was a great memory of something we don't have over here. Have fun!!!

Just in case there should have been any misunderstanding re my previous comment, my general distaste for modern roses in mass plantings such as those shown in the linked post, is in no way a criticism of Hoov's blog - or her own garden - which, from the little I've seen of them, are both delightful and full of interest and beauty! I would hate for anything negative about them to have been inferred from my comments on some of the views shown in this particular post from the Huntingdon Gardens. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but this IS the Antique Roses forum - a blessed haven for those of us that often can't suppress a shudder at some of the latest garish or murkily coloured, stiff and sickly Hybrid Teas, et al. I well remember those then very fashionable formal rose beds, sticky with poison sprays and powders, massed in great blocks of one colour/variety of HT or floribunda only, in public gardens from my childhood in the 1950s, and had rather thought we'd moved on from that particular mid-20th century aesthetic. I don't know how it connects historically with the period of the house and its neo-classical style; perhaps there was a fashion for this garden style around that time too, although obviously there wouldn't have been beds full of Icebergs!!. (or 'Passionate Kisses!' for that matter...) Comtesse :¬D

I would be interested in knowing as well. I am in N E FL and I am surprised that chili thrips havent showed up here yet. They are rampant in S FL and we are getting into the 100F here in the summers now and having warmer winters without much frost so I know they are coming lol. One thing I've noticed that loves to eat the regular thrips is our native little green tree frogs. As soon as thrips show up in the spring, I will soon see the little frogs start hanging out in the flower blossoms gobbling up thrips. These frogs are endangered here in FL now due to invasion of the Cuban Tree frogs that gobble up the green tree frogs, native lizards etc. I wonder if these tree frogs could b used in other places like Calif to control thrips. They do a great job here. I had these frogs in our yard when I lived in Louisiana so hopefully the Cuban tree frogs arent going eat all them up in LA.
