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....

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
