Thanks Gail -
I'm new to the group - having moved to Lufkin, TX in deep East Texas
and just got back from the Tyler rose garden. That place was really full
of blooms!
We are still selecting and wishing - but have planted some we got before going
and our Mr. Lincoln is in bloom and another Yellow (hum) is in buds.
We have been way behind in rain, but this month we caught up - or about
I use a 10" that goes down to .01" resolution on all 10 inches. (gloat) -
This month is just about 17 inches - quick add in the head as I put in the latest 2.05".
The grass - native St. Augustine (and others) is weathering it and is now starting to spread,
but it is cooler and will stop that.
I'll post questions from time to time as we are not great rose resources ourselves yet.
Best Regards,
Martin

There seems to be two reg.garden(s).roses one with an S the other
without.
This is the one with. No traffic - my ISP has been not pulling from
their East nor West
storage sites. They might not have this one re-newed yet.
It has been days for all of the groups... Such is life in times of Blogs
and instant messages.
news groups are endangered I fear.
This is an incredibly low traffic newsgroup. When in doubt, check
groups.google.com
rec.gardens has a bit of traffic, but i wouldn't be surprised if the bulk
of the folks have moved to web forums and the like.

Really has not much to do with blogs or forums. It's a problem with low
traffic newsgroups that experience infighting. Everyone gets POd and
leaves. Some return eventually. I've seen it happen before in other
newsgroups even before the word "blog" was invented, and before forums were
a big deal.
FWIW I've tried the other methods and still prefer newsgroups. ::shrug::
How are everyone's roses doing? 
Mine are enjoying the recent rains and
cooler weather. Blooming like mad, and putting out new leaves.
