Very gloomy day so today is for the cheerful yellows
I don’t have a lot of yellows so I’m counting on you guys to carry this one too!
This one is definitely considered a white but it certainly has a yellow glow in yard!

Comments (16)Like I need another low grower, but that is going on my want list for sure. That is just to cute!! Adamark do you have a problem with powdery mildew on your bee balm since you plant it in partial shade?? I ask cause I purchased some red bee balm and I know the jacob's clime is good on mildew resistance but the ones I purchased were of the panaroma series and I would love to plant mine in partial shade. Though I don't want to deal with powdery mildew either. I guess I am just curious hearing from someone in a cooler zone than me how theirs does....See MoreA gloomy Day Pic-Me-Upper!

Comments (14)I find the disconnect in people's minds between Wall St. and Main St. to be quite interesting. The two are inextricably intertwined, yet most consumers don't see the cause/effect. Sales are down because people can't get mortgages easily. Banks are reluctant to extend credit because every loan requires cash reserves to be set aside. Cash reserves must be held in liquid instruments, the safety of which is growing increasingly precarious as the bond market is buffeted by global economic upheaval. Thus, fewer loans are offered. Credit tightens for everyone as margins fall. The largest sources of income for banks, which are fees, have become constricted by the Dodd-Frank legislation (a poorly written monster at best) which Main St. demanded. Poor earnings = weak stock prices = less ability to make loans of any sort except to the highest-rated credit prospects and/or limited amounts. Every time a lawsuit is filed against a bank to stop a foreclosure, other banks slow down their own past due pipeline because without legal clarity as to what their liability might be, they can't accurately forecast losses and earnings, for which Wall St. punishes their stock price. I'm not assigning blame to anyone...just pointing out the way the whole process works. Banks fear regulators more than consumers fear the IRS. I worked in a bank and we got our loans audited four times a year - EVERY YEAR. Not for loan soundness - that's the responsibility of a bank's loan review committee - but for accuracy of paperwork. It was a file clerk's nightmare; in thirty-five years of admin/ops work in several different industries, I've never encountered a more complex and tedious filing system, with literally hundreds and thousands of sheets of paper for every loan. Foreclosures/short sales and new home loans will continue to move through the pipeline, but at a very slow pace until the whole liability issue is fully settled. The shaky futures of Fannie/Freddie are also a huge drag on the mortgage market. You want government out of mortgage loans so we can shrink Washington DC? Sure, you can do it, but there will be higher credit costs and fewer mortgages as a result. It's the way the system works, and unless you want to establish a tyranny and privatize the entire US financial system to overhaul it from the ground up, no amount of Congressional tinkering is going to change things. Hitler did it and it worked. But I don't think I want to live under that, and probably none of the people on this forum want to either....See MoreOMG, Larsi was VERY, very BAD today :-O
Comments (106)I hope I'm not too off topic here, but, MamaP, I have 4 dogs. All small, and I use disposable wee wee pads a lot of the year because they don't tolerate Minnesota winters well, especially my senior Chinese crested. I am interested in washable wee wee pads, not for convenience obviously, but because all the waste from disposable materials. Hearing that you use them, and you wash them at the laundromat, makes it seem....more workable. Any advice on quality of fabric wee wee pad, or your washing routine would be enormously appreciated. I wouldn't think their is enough interest in this topic to start a new thread, but who knows. And I haven't figured out how to pm yet, so I'm asking here. I realize you have a lot going on at home, so no rush, and I hope all is well. Harlow...See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw

There's 'Bishop Darlington' -- SOMETIMES yellow . . .
And 'Crepuscule'

3 months agoAs Noseometer would say, " Wow wow wow!" All gorgeous. Those are some amazing ht's , Catspa. I especially like your first picture, Jeri , with the Bishop Darlington. It's just a pretty garden picture.
I had a big plant of The Pilgrim but since I hardly ever water my established plants it died in drought. It was about 8x8'.
I think my favorite yellow is Well Being . It has great fragrance, great repeat, makes a sturdy shrub, has better health than most and is tough. It can be pale yellow with pink edges or deep yellow with rust edges.

3 months agoI too adore 'The Pilgrim', but it doesn't want to grow for me.
That 'Jaune Desprez' is magnificent! Wish mine looked like that!
"Schmidt's Smooth Yellow" is lovely. It reminds of of 'Francesca' in her happiest mood. Alas, along with David Austin roses, I also can't get Hybrid Musks to grow. Sometimes I feel deprived.
But then, along comes a good bloom of 'Etoile de Lyon':
This photo shows it a little peachier than usual; its color is more usually reminiscent of butter and cream. The only problem with it is that the rose chafers adore it, so I get few unspoiled blooms.

Crocus Rose...grows well and makes a fairly big but not huge plant. But mine is bs prone. Some say it's not.
Ghislaine de Feligonde very healthy

3 months agoI once grew 'Etoile de Lyon', too, Melissa, but grew so discouraged with how frequently the blooms on an entire shrub would be ruined by the least drop of rain or fog here (and they never self-cleaned -- each ugly wad of brown petals needed to be removed by hand, which was daunting with an 8' x 12' tea!). But, oh, when it was good! The leaves were always perfect, too.

Eureka. Never been fertilized, hardly watered in our drought but it's the healthiest rose in my garden. Unfortunately there's barely a scent but I forgive this fuss-free rose. Sometimes ya gotta trade in some traits. Yellows are not my fav but I do love this hard working rose.

3 months agoThe thing with 'Etoile de Lyon' here (mine came from Vintage), Sheila and Melissa, was never an issue until, apparently due to climate change or some other reason, our rainy season started extending well into May (as opposed to ending in April), thus catching EDL in full bloom, leaving every bloom of the first flush with an ugly wreathe (and sometime more than just a wreathe) of brown guard petals (Christopher, aka "AquaEyes", once characterized the brown guard petals as a signifying feature of EDL, but he just peeled those 5 petals off). Later flushes would produce beautiful flowers, but something like three or four first flushes in consecutive years became ruined eyesores, so I gave up. 'Souvenir de Pierre Notting', which looks very similar, does the same thing a bit, but never nearly as bad, whether because of where it the growing, the clone, or some other reason, I don't know. Here is 'Souvenir de Pierre Notting', which I still do grow -- he's a beauty, too:

I love yellow roses; in my mind they are in a class by themselves, but I don't have many -- only Golden Wings, Prairie Harvest, and Charles Darwin. In other people's gardens Agnes takes my breath away, and I like Charlotte, too, to name a few., not to mention the wild single ones that open in the spring. They remind me of Chinese enameled ware or painted porcelain.Above is Golden Wings. It is the wrong rose for my tiny garden because it is very big and has vicious thorns, but it does bloom continuously. It is a diva and I love it.
When I lived in Philadelphia I visited Longwood Gardens decades ago, and there was a planting of three of these big bushes close together, and you could detect the lovely spicy fragrance from 20' away, exactly as described in the rose books. The following year I went back, just to pay it a visit, but the planting was gone, never to return. I have never smelled any fragrance on my own specimen.
I got Prairie Harvest a long time ago after reading about it on a blog. Here it is on May 27, 2023.
The other rose is Gruss an Aachen.
It had a flush in November, too (not pictured). Below on Jan. 8 of this year (2024).
