Now, even though I love and grow contemporary HTs and some Austins, I'd
still like to find that little old yellow rose ...

the rose Bob mentioned, certainly one of my faves on eart

here's a close one:

That is absolutely stunning, especially the second shot where the leaves
and the petals look stunningly contrasted. Awesome, awesome ...

why...why...why...thank you, k rad, I'll be your messenger. that thing
has escaped the grounds, has popped up on the other side of the pickets,
in horse territory. they'll strip everything they can reach on some
roses, but they leave this one and R. primula alone.

Is that a grape vine in the foreground in the first shot?

being still naked, the extent to which:

there's another wor like this one off the right edge of this pic but the
roses on that side fight with it from boat sides of the fence. It's a pretty
even fight although periodically, every other year or so I hedge the bets
and hack the grape.
what gives me a good charge in this pic is that skyrose
right-center, back there along the fence--Cl. McGredy's Sunset, which was
in the first order I placed with Roses of Yesterday and Today years ago,
and my first hugely successful moved rose. Used to grow in front
of--north of--Cl. Talisman, Trigintipetala and Soleil d'Or--they were
smothering it.
At the time I requested that RoY&T catalog I wanted to plant some old roses
but when I actually got the catalog I ended up getting just two 'old' roses,
Leda and Trigintipetala aka Kazanlik. The other 'modern' was Cl. Talisman,
they're all still alive and plenty potent. omni potent.
And I almost forgot, I'm also growing 74 Oldsmobiles out there. It's
greening up.


Still planning
to make wine?

haha. definitely, it's right up there wit crossing foetida bicolor with Elina,
only need another Elina.


one day I grew a great red rose, now I have a computer filled with truly
bizarre stuff.

Mind explaining?

without a decoder.
