Raleigh Spring swap 2022 special side trades
Comments (163)Karen, the mums are from my garden; it is an early bloomer called 'Red Carousel.' The Mum Society just had a sale of special mums at Campbell Nursery. We (Mum Society) are having the National Convention in Raleigh this year too. Mums are bizarre this year; those in gallon pots were growing until that 20 degree morning, and most of them just died. JJ I will bring you a camellia in the fall. Thanks everyone for all the special treasures I will add to my garden. Thanks, John, for all of your efforts....See MoreFriends of Vintage Gardens Newsletter-Spring 2022
Comments (15)The Vintage Gardens newsletter gets better every time I see it! Well worth reading, always. I have one copy of their old catalogue, which I treasure and consult more often than other books - the "growth habit" info for all types of roses is especially valuable. Melissa - your comments about your DH modifying the pergola "according to his own, eccentric ideas" made me laugh! Here in our garden we are still re-planting old roses we had to take off the house into our new deer fenced garden because of fire hazard. Right behind that garden is a very old pergola, with Fortune's Double Yellow on it. Next to that was a 60 ft tall "volunteer" privet tree. It was providing shade for an ancient (inherited from the ancestors) rhododendron. Well, the tree was also, I discovered, providing way too much shade for my new garden. So, last month we had the tree shortened to about 35 feet, which removed the huge bushy part at the top. It will grow back, I am sure, because privets grow like weeds around here, and are impossible to kill - I have tried. Anyway, we also just re-planted Belle Portugaise behind the new garden, between the old pergola and a new one we just installed nearby, so it can climb on both of them. However, now the old rhododendron is getting very unhappy, as it has lost most of its shade from the tree. On the other hand, the Fortune's Double Yellow has put out 5 new basal sprouts (it was previously a one cane wonder, so I am very glad about that), each now over 3 feet tall and still going up like elevators. I has also sprouted new growth all over itself. The point of this too long story is that yesterday I noticed my DH busily building things, and erecting something in that area. I went to look, and what he was doing was extending the old pergola FDY is growing on towards the trunk of the privet tree, and out towards the new pergola we just installed, so that the now exploding FDY can continue to extend its empire at the same level, and also provide some shade for the rhododendron. I actually think that will work out, although the only reason I noticed what he was doing was because he was using noisy tools to create ornamental caps for the new corners of the extension of the pergola.

Comments (119)@portlandmysteryrose aww, thanks. There is a good bit of room where I am at presently (rural, 1.0+/- acre) and to have any more space simply means carving out new space from the dreadful lawn (I hate lawns for several reasons, hehe). It's still early in the process, but I've finally found a home that I've put an offer in on and things are moving forward: this home is rural and on over 2 acres. Sure, a lot is wooded (love my forests), but there is a bunch of great, sunny space for gardens and my roses. No lie, I'm terrified, but things will work out just fine. You know; I didn't know that Gabrielle Noyelle was a rarer moss! I do love her soft apricot blooms, and plant habit aside, I figure the blooms are as close as I'll ever get to having 'Safrano' in the garden here in the North!

Comments (403)SoCalGardenNut, Beautiful La Reine! Yay, 5 blooms! She has tge most girgeous blooms & fragrance! Don’t forget to smell her fab fragrance! That’s so exciting that you have a Mme Isaac Pereire! I draw designs of whete ai wish to plant my rosrs so I can look at the design and know which rose is planted thete when I first plant. I keep plastic labels on them, too, if they have them. Eventually I memorize them. Your La Reine doubds very promusibg with 5 blooms! She has really beautiful blooms! I live La Reine & Isaac Pereire! Berry, A 4ft La Reine is wonderful! I am really thinking Zi want to move mine out of it’s pot! Next spring! My La Reine had about 15 blooms first flush. However a ”larger La Reine” will probably have twice as many blooms!...See Moreseasiderooftop
