In article , says... http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mstephen/Persi99.jpg That is absolutely stunning, ... why...why...why...thank you, k rad, I'll be your messenger. Heh. You are welcome, it's the truth, and thank you for the offer. 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. That is definitely a plus. 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 ... Aye, that is still naked all right. Here, they just started leafing out, but it beign a very strange El nino / La Vieja cycle of a year, the Concord is completely bloomed and the Muscat is mid-way in blooming. Very strange patterns of growth and bloom this year. or so I hedge the bets and hack the grape. Well, you still have them quite large. I think. 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. Show me again, please, when they bloom. I lack in imagination. Why did you move that 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. Speaking of potent and fecund roses, for the first time in all these years, I have got rose seedlings popping up in a couple of different places; one is something from Irene Watts, or Souv de St. Anne's and some Moore miniatures; the other is something from one of Kim's roses - Dotty Louise, Othello, Gertrude Jekyll and Comte de Chambord. That's what happens when I give up on deadheading. Am just letting the seedlings grow in situ to see if I can tell what is what. And I almost forgot, I'm also growing 74 Oldsmobiles out there. It's greening up. Very luxuriantly too. haha. definitely, it's right up there wit crossing foetida bicolor with Elina, only need another Elina. Isn't bicolor sterile? It is blooming now, and is gorgeous. I have got too much lavender at its feet, need to hack through it soon. And what happened to the other Elina? Bit the dust? Bit the ice? 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.
