Tree with 'rose' thorns; yellow leaves in Autumn
Comments (4)According to Carol's link: Castor Aralia is native to Asia, and is highly invasive. It was introduced into the United States in the last 50 years ((snip)). The threat from Castor is not yet fully recognized, and it is still recommended as a shade tree, because it is resistant to insects. However, when planted, it will seed in the neighboring areas and choke out native vegetation. It prefers wet areas, particularly by rivers, and it also needs a lot of sun....See MoreAny addition to this low-thorn list?
Comments (14)Strawberry, Patrick didn't have surgery to remove a thorn. You mentioned the thread in which Patrick had a swollen hand, but you didn't share that a rose thorn was only a preliminary possibility and that the problem turned out to be a lipoma (with the cause probably trauma from hitting his hand multiple times against a shovel). In that thread I don't see a post that includes a diagnosis of tetanus by any of his doctors either. Here's a quote from Patrick's post of 4/12/07 toward the end of the thread where he described what he learned from his hand specialist: "Just got back from the hand specialist. It was definately a Lipoma. He told me that he got out all of the tumor and capsule so it should not recure in that particular spot. The bandage and stitches are gone. I must say that he did really nice work. The incision was made along the lifeline, so the scar won't be very noticeable. The most likely cause was the repeated striking of my left palm against the shovel along with my weight. Folks who are overweight yet still exert themselves (i.e. middle aged rose gardeners) are more likely to develop these things. I've gained most of the weight back from last year's weight watchers diet. So there it is."

Comments (9)In Zone 5 wouldn't you get complete de-foliage? In colder climates, a rose that doesn't lose its foliage could suffer. It generally means it's continuing to grow on after the first frosts of Autumn, which weakens the rose. I suggest the Explorer rose, William Baffin. You'll get a lot of canes which could camouflage the wall in winter, and it will grow to the heights needed. Repeat flowering sporadically after the first big flush of flowers. Wonderful rose. Hardy. Gorgeous. Very disease-resistant. Full and floriferous. Hope that helps some. Oh, it's a bright pink and only lightly scented. Not a tradition tea rose shape. Forgive my shameless plug, but I'm attaching an article I wrote about this rose. I love it and have several in my garden. Wish I new how to get pics in the posts.

Comments (62)Khalid: I didn't see your message until I came back to this thread. Thank you for what you wrote: " I regularly use black tea with ginger and cinnamon. Honey (with black pepper if I have a source throat), cardamom (small and large), garlic (as part of all our curries), onions (an integral part of our curry), as well as a few more herbs, spices etc." All those have anti-viral and anti-bacterial .. I agree with using food as preventive medicine, rather than dangerous flu-shot (combining virus). Carol: Glad to hear that you are back on schedule .. I am delighted to hear of your progress & success. It feels SO GOOD to have looser pants, and I wish everyone have that experience with daily exercise. Sam: does your Achilles tendon hurt to wear shoes with heels? I don't like shoes with heels: one of my foot is shorter than the other. I actually do more exercise on the treadmill than outside ... I can wear my husband Walmart open-heel plastic clog, I insert a memory foam inside ... and wear that on the treadmill. I wear size 7 woman, but I need a BIG shoe to insert the thick $5 memory foam. The plastic clog has bigger toe-box than running shoe, plus no need for lacing....See Morestrawchicago z5
