How did everybody get started with their rose hobby?

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 http://www.nmt.edu/~mstephen/py02.jpg here's a close one: http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mstephen/Persi99.jpg 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: http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mstephen/8x6S.jpg 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? the red rose, a recorded first rose moment http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mstephen/nuuk.jpg all the ones and zeroes, you know who you are hahahaha, it's all gobbledegook without a decoder. m -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |
