Rozenkenners.
Ik heb een perkje Dame de Coeur-rozen. Wie kan mij vertellen hoe hoog deze rozen worden en hoe en wanneer ik ze het beste kan snoeien. Ben zelf nogal leek op rozengebied. Groeten: Marian |
Dame de coeur
Hallo Marian.
De Dama de Coeur wordt ongeveer 0.90 cm hoog. Snoeien kan als elke andere struikroos op ongeveer 3 ogen of +/- 20cm. Dat snoeien kan NU, in Maart. Als je meer vragen in deze nieuwsgroep stelt, doe dat dan in het engels, dit een engelse nieuwsgroep is.Dan krijg je meer en sneller antwoord. Groet, Rien Marian wrote: Rozenkenners.

My knowledge of Dutch is so limited that I could not find the way to answer her question about the expected growth or when to prune it.

Hello,
With respect, where is it said this is an English speaking only group? I though REC was general. And however the others are by country (US, UK, etc...), not by language. It it was the case some coutries would be in trouble.. Belgium or Switzerland for example. I realise almost everybody in the group is from english speaking countries, but it's not a reason to have narrow minds, isn't it. Friendly, Jocelen. "Allegra" wrote in message .net...

I don't think Allegra's point is that this is an EXCLUSIVELY
English-speaking group (we all know that Allegra is way too tasteful and ladylike to say anything so tacky!). That seems pretty apparant (at least to me) in her second paragraph. She just meant that she can't speak Dutch, and she was glad that Rien can. This newsgroups PREDOMINANT language is English, that's all. I can only speak for myself, but I certainly don't mind if non-English speakers post in here...but like Allegra, I hope they won't feel bad if nobody can answer due to our limited knowledge of their language(s).

JimS. Seattle Hello Jim dear, Easier to pass judgment than to read with an open mind I guess. But thank you for your kind words, I really felt bad about not being able to help someone who was asking how tall it would get and when to prune it. Just to put x cm and March or April would have been dumb, since I honestly didn't even know where the person was. So I was hoping for someone to come to the rescue and I was only to happy to encourage with a thank you the person who did. Lets leave it at this. It would have being "friendly" as in the signature of the person who wrote the above if he would have extended me the courtesy of asking what I meant if that would have been of any importance at all. But I guess, as I said that to some people it is easier to pass judgment than to ask the meaning of something. How are your roses doing? Mine are begin to stretch! Some little buds all over, and if the weather cooperates I will transplant tomorrow several cuttings from last fall that have some real fatty roots and green growth and try to put last fall's bands that were put on gallon pots into the Leonard's bathtubs. I am breaking into hives just of sheer impatience. How has the weather been up there up the street from me where you are? And thank you again, you are a gentleman and I am grateful that at least someone recognized a kind word to others without any other "hidden" meaning, Allegra |

But I can see how it could have seemed that way. Nevertheless, bring on the postings in whatever language! We'll do our best to help anyone-- with any luck our mis-translations won't cause too much damage from "friendly fire", to use an expression from current events...! With the exception of your hailstorms, we're still tracking the same weather. My basement sump pump still churns several times a day. The sun briefly peaked out this afternoon (about 30 minutes!), so I spent a few minutes picking some more of the *$%@# wax off my cheap Certified Roses bagged ones from Lowes. Most are doing OK but the few places I missed the wax before are rotting and dieing as surely as the day is wet. Had to clip off a few dead and rotted twigs, but otherwise they're doing ok. Everything is thriving pretty much, and my Don Juan and Joseph's Coat are both fully leafed out. I have high hopes for both of them, this sophomore year. The only one that continues to be a disappointment is my ILPPoS, and she's not long for it (I keep swearing, but still she lives....don't know why I let her...). Waiting for my Iceberg to really take off, but the bud eyes are finally beginning to open. Even my hokey little rose tree is doing great....the duplex one, the bottom is Iceberg and the top is Today. What a Frankenstein creation this thing is, but it might be fun when it really starts to cook. I think it'll be you and me bring in last place for the "first bloom" contest this year! JimS. Seattle |

Apologies accepted because indeed I felt rather bad about someone criticizing what I echoed from the original poster, who suggested to the person who asked the question in his answer that "this is an English speaking group so if you want to have an answer to your question you will have to ask in English". Lets forget about it. On with the roses and thank you for the apology, Allegra |

"Shiva" without reading the original phrase correctly, decided : Nonsense! You have nothing to apologize for.

Thanks for making it. This group is whatever it wants to be. I'd love to have lots of International participation, as would most others here. My curiosity might force me to learn more languages! Allegra didn't turn the phrase. The phrase was written by Rien who recommended -in Dutch, for the person to remember to ask in English - something I thank him for since I was willing to help but I didn't know how to do it in Dutch. Thank you for telling "antis" about this being an English speaking group. My knowledge of Dutch is so limited that I could not find the way to answer her question about the expected growth or when to prune it. Since you don't speak Dutch you may as well go to Google and find how to translate the original message by Rien, from where the quote came. " Hallo Marian. --De Dama de Coeur wordt ongeveer 0.90 cm hoog. Snoeien kan als elke andere struikroos op ongeveer 3 ogen of +/- 20cm.

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.

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 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 ... Allegra 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 |

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. 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.
