How did everybody get started, and Persian Yellow

In article , says... parents decided to build a new house, my rose was bulldozed one day when I was at school. I was heartbroken. Oh the shock. We had a light pink climber thing growing on the side of the garage in a sort of no man's land that I played in, hiding under the rose and the gnarled fruit trees. I remember clouds of petals on the ground. When my mother remodeled the area, the rose disappeared. Funny how our parents never thought about our attachments to these plants and places. I was caught by this rose addiction partly through the pull of such memories of playing in the dirt as a kid, but mostly because like so many, I bought a house. Simple as that. When you try different things to see what works, you get snagged by the reward that roses give. I'm also quite snagged by clematis for a similar reason. (My first heartbreak with roses! Many more to come!) Always more heartpounders than heart breaks though. Now, even though I love and grow contemporary HTs and some Austins, I'd still like to find that little old yellow rose ... Sue in SoCal the rose Bob mentioned, certainly one of my faves on eart http://www.nmt.edu/~mstephen/py02.jpg That is just GAWjuz! here's a close one: http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mstephen/Persi99.jpg one day I grew a great red rose, now I have a computer filled with truly bizarre stuff. Yeah, it just happens, don't it? The bizareness though is inborn. ;~P Regina |

The bizareness though is inborn. ;~P Hahaha! You know, I was thinking that he needs to grow Excellenz von Schubert to cover the knees of that Missster Lincoln. I planted EvS at the foot of my very tall growing Bewitched for the same reason (it is also a very wide Betwitched) and I am very glad of the effect. EvB can be kept as a 4 foot mound acoording to Liggett (Regina, I remember you asking me about this a long time ago), but I am letting them all grow whatever way they want to grow. So far, the interesting development (besides the gorgeous EvB) is that Bewitched decided to keep all her leaves on her knobby knees, and even throw an occasional low-blooming blossom, just to compete with the EvB, and it is all very pretty, very pleasing to the eyes. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |
