Are you getting rain? I'm so hoping your new plants have not all been eaten.

Hello everyone, I'm afraid I've been feeling even more weak than usual and haven't been able to do or even really think much. I did just now post comments on two threads and actually went out and looked at the roses after quite some time. One I think is completely eaten, some are iffy and some actually have some nice new growth on them. I'm afraid growing the roses will be a bit of a challenge but I'm not giving up just yet. Thank you my friends for asking after me. We haven't had rain in quite a while but it's looking hopeful for Sunday and possibly Monday. The roses will love that!

Ingrid, are you near the fires in So California?
Q
Comments (4)
Actually this time the fires are in Northern California, in the Santa Cruz Mountains SE of Los Gatos. I am in the lower foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, about 25 miles as the crow flies, and in no danger. I do not know if there are any Antique Rose Forum regulars who are any closer. People who live deep in the mountains are at risk, but those of us in or near towns have only the smoky air to bother us. It is sad that people have lost houses, but most fortunately there have been no serious injuries. Rosefolly Here is a link that might be useful: Fire map

Ingrid- Did you get the blue drapes?
Q

I have been away and was catching up and didn't see any mention of how the blue drapes you ordered worked with your summer rug? Maybe you haven't received them yet? Just wondering.

Hi, Ingrid. This is where my garden is at in Winter.

We tried the fishing line, too. We used the fishing line to string between posts that surrounded our garden to form a fence of a sort. The theory is that the deer will feel but not see it and be spooked, discouraging them from going into the garden area. We put up several levels so that deer, whether small or large. would hit a line if they tried to walk through, crawl under or jump. For a couple weeks it did seem to stop them but within a month the deer had it figured out and had no problem going under, over or through. This summer was long and hot and we did have a drought. This added to the pressure already there from habitat destruction due to a construction boom from people moving here from out of state. If the deer could find plenty of food and water elsewhere it might have been more effective.

I'm so happy that you finally had some rain, Marlorena! Eustacia Vye is so lovely, with all the sweetness and charm of an old rose. Thank you, dear friend, for this, and for all the beauty you bring to the rose forum.

Oh rats! I just realized that the rose that was eaten was Yves Piaget. I wonder if that little own-root band might by some miracle regenerate itself from underground. Hope springs eternal.

I just found out that a rare lilac, St. Joan, which was an infant lilac has disappeared. I fear a gopher took it down. It completely evaporated.

Gophers sound even worse than porcupines,

Sheila - drat. I'm so glad I don't get gophers. And your lilac was a rare one, too.

Ingrid - man, oh man!!! I'm in love with your bouquet!! What's the large pink one? Drat about your Yves Piaget. That's too nice of one for critters to get. I'm sorry you're still feeling so tired/exhausted. That's tough.
