Another rose id question please, beautiful pink cascading roses
Comments (21)Well, I don't know. I looked at both those roses on Help Me Find and I guess it could be. Maybe there was something about the way this GW member grew this rose or pruned it that gave it a little different look to it. And the color of the rose on the arbor seems a little coral to me, but that could just be the camera or the light. Thanks for the help. :-)...See MoreLooking for Chandos Beauty Rose Bush
Comments (30)Hortico is very aware everyone wants Chandos Beauty. The year I bought mine, they were only able to raise 4 plants to a saleable condition. That year they weren’t committing to attaching any individual to a plant until after successful harvest. I remember calling Nicole several times a week for quite some time. I was always polite but I’m sure I was annoying, but it’s not like they gave me any other option. Not sure why so few plants can be raised, that’s the core problem. Carol, It seems several of us are on first name basis with Nicole due to Chandos Beauty, lol! I think it’s an excellent rose, but Sugar Moon beats it for fragrance, PJPII beats it for overall garden performance, Francis Meilland would be a decent substitute....See MoreRoses with bush beauty & fast repeat & health & scent?
Comments (73)Hi Kristine, Yes, we are getting prepared here and watching the forecast closely. We are about an hour inland from the panhandle coast (a little closer as the crow flies) so we won't get the brunt of the hurricane but we could still get lots of rain, some wind, tornado spin offs, flooding, loss of power, etc. Our wells are electric powered so we do have to prepare for that. I am filling up two huge horse water troughs left by the previous owners, for the animals' water today , just in case.. as well as water bottles, jugs, etc for us. I always keep some milk jugs of clean water in our freezer, frozen, in case the power goes out, it helps keep stuff cold much longer as long as nobody opens the doors up too often lol. We do have an older generator that works and a gas chainsaw. The last hurricane that hit near us in FL, we lost power and got trapped in by fallen trees and power lines, etc across the driveway lol. Many stores are already selling out of some things here & even on the east side of the state from what I hear from relatives there. Hopefully, it will miss us but once its in the Gulf, its gonna hit somewhere so I hate to wish it on others. I am worried about the farm animals. I have one very pregnant doe (goat) due any time now. During H Rita, when we lived in Louisiana, we had a very pregnant cat who went into labor just as the hurricane hit. She was having her kittens in the car as we evacuated. We also had our parrots in the car with us and our dog. All the hurricane shelters were full of Katrina refugees from the month prior, so we literally spent a week in our car. We had 6ft of water in our town so we had to wait for that to recede before we could return. There's something about barometric pressure changes and labor lol....See MoreHOUSE TOUR: Rose is on Tap in this Beautiful Atlanta Bungalow
Comments (10)SueB needs to see this basement, it looks like the NOLA hotel she stayed in. The homeowner has lots of interesting ideas, and I really like everything she did on the main level and in the guest bedroom upstairs. The palette is neutral and I prefer more color, but all the rooms looked well thought out and very liveable. Most of all I liked the homeowner herself; she is very much like a few of my friends and I found nothing braggy or obnoxious in her description of her home or her life. So many of the homeworthy hosts seem hell bent on trying to portray their homes and lives as perfection— which comes across to me as almost desperately aspirational, iykwim. Thanks for this one, Gizmo!...See MoreMischievous Magpie (CO 5b)
