Merry Christmas all!

I took advantage of a message Duncan sent some time ago to see if anyone out
there is doing anything.  I have been looking at last year's rose catalogs
that I found in some of the things we moved to this new house and they look
even lovelier (in the magazine) than they did in summer and fall when I had
roses blooming in my yard.

Carleen gave me some cuttings from some of her old roses and I have them
snuggled in boxes of rooting soil and I encourage them, each day to put
forth roots.  I do have to take time out from that to make some truffles for
Carleen as we are doing a trade.

I hope to get rose catalogs this year but will have to order them as I do
not think the post office will forward them to me.  I thought I would inform
some of the companies, via the net, that I have an address change.  My other
loves are iris and lilies so I have to hope all will not be lost.

Do any of you do any bud grafts on your roses?  I used to know a man who did
bud grafts on wild rose stock and, while they were not beautiful bushes,
they were interesting.  He just liked working in the flowers and tried many
experiments.

We are fortunate in Eastern Washington State that we have very dry climate
most years and black spot is seldom a problem but wow! the white flies
flourish.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
