How did everybody get started with their rose hobby?

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. That is so nice! Whatever part of wonderful is missing now can still be had, you know. In PRIVATE groups where you can all wear the same t-shirts and make plans for dinner every week and even have a secret handshake if you want. Meanwhile, welcome to rgr 2003. zia maria |
