Jeri Jennings, the Rose and the Rosarian
Comments (14)Jeri has been a leader in rescuing and preserving old roses and in growing roses that work for you, rather than making you work for them. My life is tremendously richer for knowing her and her husband Clay, and being part of her rose circle in this forum and elsewhere. Anybody who comes to our Sacramento symposium in October should have a chance to meet them, or if you know them already, to get a chance to talk a bit.

Comments (13)I do believe we have a winner, Robert's Wondrous Ruthie, and I never would have known it without your help. Thank you, ladies. I may post my photos at HelpMeFind, to add to the references there. I agree, it is a lovely rose that flowers abundantly and has thrown up new canes like crazy. She's been a bit plagued with BS in my no-spray garden but I'm hoping that settles down. The misidentification turned out to be a fortuitous mistake because her colors actually play off a nearby Belle Epoque and some other old HTs and HPs quite well. The Jeri Jennings I finally got is at a patio corner, underplanted with an indigenous flower we have here in south Louisiana, called Indian Pink. Thanks again for your help. Kind regards, Janice...See MoreJeri Jennings
Comments (9)Thanks. I am embarrassed to say that not only is mine growing in a small bed cut out of sea of ground cover daisies, but that part of the garden has never ever been dug or amended - for at least 40 years it was used for parking, and was graveled and sprayed with weed killer regularly. When we first moved in I had a friend who showed up and said that we should plant these So. African ground cover daisies there, as "they will grow anywhere" - she was correct - we just dug some small holes about 4 feet apart (the bed is 6 feet by 40 feet) and plopped 4" daisy plugs in them, and the daisies immediately spread and flourished, and are sill flourishing. The soil is our normal clay, presumably much compacted by being parked on, and a little relieved by the daisies growing there for 25 years. Also, each year that bed gets about 8 inches of large oak leaves dropped on it, which the daisies "eat" over the Winter - the leaves just completely disappear without human intervention. So, it makes sense that this rose is staying put in its little bed. I am happy that it is growing and blooming in partial shade, and perhaps it will get more adventurous in future years and get bigger - I love just seeing what roses will do - they always surprise me! Jeri - thanks for the lovely pictures of yours - Jackie...See More'Jeri Jennings'
Comments (59)No, I will be joining Central Florida Rose Society bec at least I can attend locally here and meet other rosarian. They are affiliated with ARS. Meeting is every first Thursday of the month but I have been missing it last couple of months. I did not consider about spacing at all until I read Bart' s thread sorting big teas and small. From Cori Ann who designed her garden and Sheila who showed how she did her teas and matching companions, how she did her garden design and she did it brilliantly with love. I think she must be a designer , a rose Whisperer . I can go on and on ....Lisa, Marlorena, Carol, Chris, Nik , Jeri, Virginia, Ingrid etc....Hey, I remembered ball the names...lol They inspired me and I end up googling and reading more. I am all game if anyone wants to suggest a book. I am sure I am going to make tons of mistakes but I got started the ball rolling and we will see how it rolls. It will be challenging I am sure since I just got into it but I know all you guys will guide me and corrected my mistakes. I just cracked my transmission on a 2014 car some valve broke and pressure build up and crack the casting . That a rebuild is $3000 a and a new is $5000. So, I pick a rebuild, now maybe I have to do fence (DIY). That was my fence money i budget for January. On a rental now till I get my car back in a week's time (hopefully). Thank goodness I did my Christmas shopping. Jin...See MoreK S 7b Little Rock (formerly of Seattle)
