Hello Rien, When you speak a couple of languages as I do and have traveled around the world a couple of times as I have, the first thing you learn to do is to read with your heart and then with your eyes. It may be naive and old fashioned, but I come from an era of gentility and respect for others that demands that I act that way. I would have never for a second suspected you of a prejudiced or jingoist answer, I knew you were trying to help someone and had to do so with very limited options. You are most welcome, and once again thank you for explaining to Marian that it wasn't that -I, for instance- was ignoring her request for help, it was that I didn't know even with the dictionary how to ask her where she was or tell her how to take care of the Queen of Hearts without confusing the heck out of her. How are your roses doing? Best wishes for them and you from a surprisingly dry day in Portland, Oregon Allegra |

Just to let you know... Guido Hello Guido, Now what is nice Dutch fellow doing signing with such a beautiful Italian name? Where are you? Amsterdam? Gorgeous city? I visited the gardens at the Palais of Het Loo right after the reconstruction. What a beauty! and we fell in love with the rhododendrons and the roses at Huize Warmelo in Diepenheim in Overijssel. I always find extremely funny that some people believe only bulbs are grown in Holland. At any rate, you can talk to me any time you want. I wish I could speak Dutch, but my ears are not good enough to get the right pronunciation. However my good will seems to make up for my lack of phonetic singularity ;) Is good to know that you are into roses. What do you grow? Ogr? or HTs? a mixture of both? I grow and mostly study old garden roses. I find them to be a constant source of wonderment. I hope you will share your garden. It is nice to learn from others in other climates how they deal with their problems, and I mean solely about roses ;) Take care and please share some photos if you have, Allegra |

Hi Cass
Thanks No actually the roses that survived the mayor overhaul are now in excellent rosy conditions with an automatic drip system and soil where i hope they thrive and they are now showing some signes they will. Off course roses here bloom much later than your's Regards Guido "Cass" schreef in bericht ... hels wrote: I am Dutch as Marianne and Rien are apparently I answered Mriannes question already in private (and in Dutch) as Shiva doesn't want me to appear here as she believes this is "her" newsgroup....

Hi Allegra,
Nice to see someone here who actually "knows" where the Netherlands are and how it looks:-) There was a famous Flemish poet whom I was named after. His name was Guido Gezelle. No, living in The Hague (the Royal city) Approx a mile from the Westbroek Rose garden of The Hague. I used to grow all sorts of. Did a mayor overhaul of my garden and now the leftovers are banned to two borders but wit ideal conditions. Modern roses less, because they don't like my pure sand soil so much Regards "Allegra" schreef in bericht news:c8aga.217170$L1.40780@sccrnsc02... "hels" wrote in message ...

Hey, Guido. Long time no see. Too busy with the new business endeavour? What roses did you manage to move, what fell by the wayside, and since when did you start using the "y" for "j" in your spellings? Off course roses here bloom much later than your's So do Mack's. I think. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

Hi Radika
Yes very busy indeed. I must confess I really don't know which from the 80 plus varieties I lost. Apart from a few the (stil) living ones also lost the nametags or the names on the tags under way. I will be able to say something more in two months when there are some blooms. Some of the leftovers I do recognize: 1 Agnes bush 1 Ballerina standard 1 Bonica standard 2 compassion bushes 1 friesia bush 1 Glauca bush 2 lavender pinochio standards 1 Margaret Merrill standard 1 Marie Pavic standard (one of my favourites) 1 Mme Curie Standard 1 Mutabilis bush (hopefully) 1 suntan standard (hopefully) 3 Superstar bushes 1 veilchen blau standard 1 zepherine drouhin bush Jes The Y foah the J.... Hm Mebe I was thinking about Mack's ring (ic he is around ...) Or about a friend who is a mayor of an ancient British city in Devon. or about Mayonaise which we Dutch use to eat with French Fries ( just as strange as eating fries with ketchup as they use to do at your side of the pond) Love Guido "Radika Kesavan" schreef in bericht ... hels wrote: No actually the roses that survived the mayor overhaul are now in excellent rosy conditions with an automatic drip system and soil where i hope they thrive and they are now showing some signes they will.
