Geranium Red, my own root rose from Amity Heritage Roses, produces
roses that are really the red of the Geraniums.
pelargonium, I believe.
True.
That's what makes Trumpeter the color it is. I grow the hybrid
moyesii Geranium, it doesn't remind me of geraniums.
Don't know any true geraniums that are red, only pelargoniums. This
beautiful ping geranium (real geranium) is the new weed around the
garden this year, may be something to do with the El Nino winter, and
this one I don't mind, at least not yet.
You like that pearly sort of shell pink colour, right. It works
well for me too. I really like it in Souvenir de St. Anne's.
Sheer Bliss, star rose.
Absolutely. My seven-year old Sheer Bliss is putting on a great show
this year.
Am trying an experiment - last year, was out of the country through
crucial months and could not prune a whole lot of the big growers, like
Sheer Bliss. Some of them produced more flowers (the beautifully pink
Bewitched) but the others not (Voodoo). Chencking out whether this is
reproducible this year. Leastways, this is my explanation for my ways
becoming lazy and easy-going. If I don't watch out, one of these days I
might actually become mellow. A mellow fire-brand is a thing of nought.
Am not sure if SdSA will survive in your climate, ...
have fastidiously avoided that rose, its clonemama checked out
quickly.
Interesting; too bad. This morning, SdSA has its first stunning blossom
of the year. Pure poetry. Same as Sheer Bliss, pure poetry.
Pink Meidiland, what a great rose, though==coral pink, white eye,
very orderly, not a wild thing, no dieback.
Coral? I like the coral colour a lot, but in the Star Roses' site,
this rose looks red in the picture.
red eh? this one was a Paula rose I picked from a list.
That picture is too dark, underexposed badly, so may be it is coral that
looks red because of that.
See, you failed to answer that. From where are you getting Fire
Meidiland?
Jung's, sorry. there were 2 iterations of this post, I think there
was a blue screen somehow associated.
Thanks. The Blue Screen Haiku is pretty good. Most of the rest of the MS
Haiku is clever too, but this one stands out from the crowd:
"Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death
No one hears your screams."

Who are the survivors and is there a correlation between their
colours and their survival g?
no color correlation I've noticed. the biggest problem is the pasture
grass, K45, which grows on the other side of the ditch. They don't
like it, it's hard keeping a handle on it. Out front there's
Denver's Dream, Apricot Twist, Cafe Ole', Mountie, Winsome, Palmetto
Sunrise and Pierrine--I'd call them great roses, enduring roses.
Another rock solid unit is Chica Kordana, a throwaway rose,
definitely the hardiest mini on the plantation. None of these have
any competition to speak of, I guess that's the factor.
Grass growing everywhere except where someone inthis house wants it is a
huge annoyance. I guess Minis better be tough if they have to fight with
that kind of a survivor Genus.
