I am sitting here, trying to decipher YMMV?!?! Anyway, I might give it a try anyway. BS is a major problem in my garden. I don't spray w/big chem, but have had good results with finely ground cornmeal. Especially if I'm diligent. Dakota Redwing is such an appealing rose; I feel like I have to give it a try. Thanks for your honest input and I look forward to hearing about more of your work! Golden Buddha is the only rose in my garden that I want more than one of the plant. Wonderful, happy rose which delights me @ time I see it.

Pulease...you guys. I am laughing so hard. I can think of so many forum members who make much better bouquets than I ever could. The thing about RR and Ascot is you just need a lot of blooms to stuff in a vase--the blooms do it all for you--plonks for the lazy. I just looked up Jude a while ago to see his parentage, if possible. No, it can't be...Abe Darby is a parent. My little runt Abe which grows next to my 8+ft tall Jude. Something is wrong here. Diane

rifis (zone 6b-7a NJ), I'm not sure how large the holes are in the fencing. I've been very lucky so far. Maybe the bunnies are too lazy or nervous to go through the fence, thank goodness. In earlier spring something (maybe a bunny or a number of other animals) chewed one of my baby Princess Charlene de Monaco roses before I protected it. Whatever is nibbling on them, they seem to like the youngest roses the best. Thank you for the tip about the fence sizing. I wish I'd bought a smaller size but thankful this one has been ok so far. LauraLG Z5b-NwPA, I'm so glad to know that, thank you. It seems to be a unique rose. I have to resist buying more than one rose unless I really, really have a good sense that I'm not going to regret it. What a cute pic! It's amazing how fast some roses can grow. That puppy is stocky. He must be growing just as fast. Labrador retriever or golden labrador? I can never tell them apart. Paul Barden, I agree, you can't put a price on joy. I'm pretty happy I was able to obtain this rose and look forward to seeing it grow.

It really does look like the photos of Ginger Syllabub, which is funny because that's one that has been on my wish list. Maybe someone who grows Ginger will chime in, but I think that's a good guess. I was thinking it also looks like Barden's October Moon but I figured he would have identified it for you if that's what it is.
