Miniatures
My miniatures from Nor'east arrived yesterday. It didn't take veyr long
after I got home to get them into the bed. ("Dinner, you want *DINNER* when there are rosses to plant?") Beautiful little babies; three of four with buds and one of which will open probably today. Anyway, I ened up ordering: Center Gold (fragrant yellow), Dazzler (white petals w/ red edge & splash of yellow at base, fragant), Golden Halo (yellow, fragrant), and Overnight Scentsation (mauve, fragrant). I know, quite ecelectic colours but since I have yellows, various shades of purple, white and pinks in the bed already, I figured it would work. *grin* Of the scentsation line, I decided I simply *must* have Overnight after reading its description. I worked at NASA Goddard for a while and, to this day, it was my favourite place to work ever so Overnight's connection with NASA made it the scentsation must have. Checked on them this morning and the plants were beginning to open up and some of the leaves that had shown a slight hint of yellow from shipping were now green. Susan s h simko at duke dot edu |

As for minis, I want to see how yours do--as 2004 will be the year I order a bunch. I have only Climbing Rainbow's End coming this year--potted, and later in the season. I like the idea of growing minis to hide the bare knees of the hybrid teas, though I am not sure how well this works.

I was thinking of ordering it because it reminds me of one of my personal heros. |

Beautiful little babies; three of four with buds and one of which will open probably today. Anyway, I ened up ordering: Center Gold (fragrant yellow), Dazzler (white petals w/ red edge & splash of yellow at base, fragant), Golden Halo (yellow, fragrant), and Overnight Scentsation (mauve, fragrant).

Looking at the little bloom yesterday which it selfishly tried to hide from me, it became immediately apparent why this rose is named Dazzler. Can't wait to have it and the DD blooming at the same time! It's intersting that OS looked to be closest to blooming when I put them in but still hasn't fully opened yet.

I like the idea of growing minis to hide the bare knees of the hybrid teas, though I am not sure how well this works. My minis are focal points in my bed that edges the walkway. I do have other plants that hide the bare knees of my roses simply to act as a weed deterrent in those beds.

I was thinking of ordering it because it reminds me of one of my personal heros. There's some additional info on Nor'east's site about OS's connection to NASA. I simply can't believe the bloom isn't open yet! Fortunately, it's right on top of the plant instead of hidden away like Dazzler. Those roses sure can be very stingy little givers despite everything we do for them! Susan - still looking for a local "waif" Chrysler Imperial to put with Pristine - I'm thinking those two will make a good barrier to keep the kids out of the bluebird box nearest them! s h simko at duke dot edu |
