Happy Fourth of July
Comments (17)Maryl - The main reason I bought Judy's Jewel was to cross with former Valentine Sweetheart. It's in the same color class, but larger. So the fact it doesn't multiply much and isn't very tall isn't important to me. It's a big fader too, where former VS holds its color much better. I'm trying to get a taller Val. Swhrt with a bloom size of 7 inches or more. I have some buds on JJ, but I don't know if they'll make it in this heat. I've also crossed it with Dancing Flamingo both seasons.

Comments (5)Congratulations on successfully moving it to a pot during summer! Being that it's going to be growing in hot dry Texas I think I'd try for a little afternoon shade since you won't be there to water it that often. Roses will take full sun if they get plenty of water, but will do well and bloom on 4 to 6 hours of sun especially if the shade is bright or dappled. Also I'd wait until fall to transplant it to its new location so it will have all winter to grow roots to be able to take every two week or so watering. Hopefully we'll have some rain to help it along this coming winter and spring. Wishing you the best!...See MoreHappy Fourth of July!
Comments (8)Lol, the 'bang'. Such a different 4th than we have ever experienced....but we knew that. We did consider a month ago to get some friends together that would be up for very careful lock-down conditions. Increase our close friends 'bubble'. We are all home with no-contact ever....just deliveries. NY is serious, especially all our friends. I think it is just a mood. We care enough for each other to not really need a social event right now. We just can't imagine the 4th or any social event without the usual hugs and close contact love. Maybe a bit nervous that just one friend might do a 'cheat'. (getting gas, going in a market last minute). We are doing so well in NYState I want to keep being responsible. Seems extreme for some. I need a close friend base unit like us, that orders on-line delivery, no contact in a store or grocery, two weeks minimal. We might try in a few weeks. I like what David Brooks said, "If you don’t breathe the spirit of the nation, if you don’t have a fierce sense of belonging to each other, you’re not going to sacrifice for the common good. We’re confronted with a succession of wicked problems and it turns out we’re not even capable of putting on a friggin’ mask."...See MoreI Will Always Love 'Fourth of July'
Comments (3)I agree - I have a neighbor who has Fourth of July planted next to Cinco de Mayo (both bred by Tom Carruth), and I have always thought that that was too bad, as Cinco de Mayo is a beautiful rose, but suffers in comparison with Fourth of July right next to it. Jackie...See Morelgmd_gaz
