Right Rose Right Place
Comments (10)Marcindy, Peter and Susan Schneider are two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. You really should subscribe to his American Rose Rambler, an excellent newsletter! I think you'll really enjoy his sense of humor, too. You can find his contact information here on the Combined Rose List web site. The CRL is another invaluable rose reference and was the only method of finding roses prior to Help Me Find. I have used his editions (and the prior ones created by Bev Dobson, another lovely rose person!) to find old, rare and unusual roses for many years. I would love to visit their open house, too. It must be amazing! Good luck. Kim Here is a link that might be useful: Combined Rose List...See MoreRight time and right place for these pics
Comments (14)Jim, those really *are* cool pictures! :-) But I have to admit that I "triple-hate" yellow jackets, because I am *extemely* allergic to them. Plus they are very much enamored of bindweed which I despise just about as much as them. Those two dirty rotters go "hand in hand". Sure they have their place. I totally get that, but I hate them both, nonetheless. :-/ Goes off muttering...*&%@! dirty, rotten', stinkin' yellow jackets and bindweed...phfft!...See MoreLeft to right or right to left?
Comments (13)Doc--seriously??? It's a religion issue? Huh. Never heard of that. My old kitchen was DW left of sink. Being very right-handed, I was used to that directional movement and felt it made ergonomic sense. Then, while working my new kitchen layout, the DW would have needed to be on the right. I was worried, but read lots of posts here saying that neither placement is "correct" and that you easily get used to whichever side yours is on. True. It took me about two weeks to not feel awkward while loading the DW in my new kitchen. *Caveat. I have never used hand washing as the way to clean the majority of my dishes. Growing up I had a DW and have had one in every residence since college. My hands have always been sensitive to water which felt hot enough to come remotely close to cleaning dishes well, and I dislike standing at the sink for so long being wet. Isn't that what a DW is for?...See MoreRight Name with the Right Rose?
Comments (8)I usually always walk my garden in the same route, roses in the front bed down the walk to the patio pots then out to the street bed, as I'm taking pictures. I have detailed spread sheets so I know where each rose is planted and if I'm not sure of the rose's name I can usually tell which one it is by the rose pictured before and after it. Oh, that must be Pink Peace because it's between Julia Child and Quietness out at the street bed. I do occasionally mess up but I try to always download my pics daily so I can run out and check. Yes, my neighbors think I'm crackers sometimes out there at 11 pm with a flashlight trying to ID something, lol! This doesn't happen much with my named varieties, more with my seedlings. When I'm out somewhere else I always take a picture of the tag after I shoot the rose (or any flower or plant) so I can identify it. I learned that quickly when I toured a gorgeous rose garden, came home with a boat load of beautiful photos, and couldn't remember a single name! I also carry a note pad so if there is no tag I can ask and write the name down. In the spring I like to take photos before and after pruning. Of course there are no blooms to ID them with so I carry a clip board and write the rose name down as I photograph and prune each rose. Later on in the season, hopefully when they're blooming, I try to take a full bush photo of each rose doing the same thing with the clip board. With these photos I can tell how well a rose wintered, how much I had to prune it back, and how well it grew back afterwards. It's good information if you're trying to decide about if you want to keep a rose or not....See Moredchall_san_antonio
