Comments (15)Oh, dear - when I saw Miriam's name on the post title, I was hoping against hope that she was being honored and given another award, but my fears came true. I have met Miriam many times at HRG meetings and the Celebration, and she deserved all of the honors and awards she has received in recent years. My personal fond memories of her start in the early 1990s, when I knew nothing about all of the old roses in my garden, and had joined HRG at the Celebration to try and find out something about them. We started getting the local HRG newsletter, which at that time was written by Miriam. The rose and non-rose stories and asides in it were so hilarious, I would read them out loud to my husband, and we started referring to Miriam (just to each other, and with affection) as the "crazy rose lady". We found that we really looked forward to her newsletters, and always read them together when they came (he is not really interested in roses - he loved the funny stories). I just walked into the house and told him that "the crazy rose lady has died", and he reacted with real sadness and regret, as do I. Jackie...See MoreCo-dominant stem breakage - can it survive?

Comments (55)jjpeace, I'd love to see what your pegged roses look like. I've never tried it. I haven't visited garden centers either (or anywhere for that matter). It does take patience when you live in a short growing season climate. One thing we can console ourselves with is the farther north we are, the longer our summer days are for a while, at least. Did you lose the three roses because of cold weather? I'm sorry to read that, and Evelyn is a favorite of mine, too, though she gave me the willies with her first blooms a little while ago--lots of proliferations popped out--ick. Carol, thank you so much. Yes, you are patient, much more than I am, and I admire what you can accomplish in your short season--not just the roses but the other flowers you grow, I remember how you fooled me with one of your photos--lots of big blooming roses, and I didn't even see the pots. They looked great. I hope you have a repeat of that this year. Diane...See MoreMischievous Magpie (CO 5b)
