How did everybody get started with their rose hobby?
Emil wrote: Hi group, Out of curiosity...How did everybody start with their hobby, more like a passion :-) of roses? OK, I'll play along. When we bought this house 10 yrs ago there were a few scraggly roses and I logged on to the formerly wonderful rec.gardens.roses to perhaps learn what to do with them. It was a warm and friendly group (I still have a big folder of print-outs of messages which included advice, but also poetry, essays, observations, erudition, short stories, and some gentle insults). I became an enthusiast. When Judy Pineda hosted a dinner party for Sam McGreedy, I had to be there. When the group got T-shirts (thanks to Alice) and wore them to SJHRG, I had to be there too. I now have maybe 60 roses in the ground and 20 in pots. Latest purchase is Hot Cocoa, even thought I didn't want any more floribundas, the color got me. zia maria |
