Home Depot. Weeks roses in 2 gallon pots. Lots of feeder roots. I know
becauses I already repotted mine.


Names please?


Iceberg for my brother

Granada for somebody related to him

Accept no substitutes. The Despot is also selling generic "Red Rose"
"Yellow Rose" things that are truly scary.


Bet you would not find it scary if they said "Mauve Rose" ;-).


Shhh. Tim thinks I'm serious. I believe they has something called
Lavender rose. I saw way too many variegated leaves to want to do
anything other than sterilize my shoes.

And they have Weeks' Dainty Bess. It's all I can do to not drive over
there to pick one up. Tell me it's a dog, a mildew magnet, but the
contrast of those purplish stamens with the white petals is alluring.

I am about to plant the Lavender Lassie you delivered to me in the
ground. It looks grand and well. I think I am going to plant the
Polish Spirit Clematis, which I got last May and grew in a pot, with
the Lassie. No contrast, just harmony this time.


I can't think of any color clematis that wouldn't look good with LL.
And now, back to the third day of untangling, tying and training Chevy
Chase. I feel like a pin cushion.
