Hi Linda,

Welcome to the list.

Mine was rather unruly this year, over 6 ft.
tall, but covered with flowers all season.  

I cut Graham Graham back more than my other
shrub roses because it gets lanky.  But I also
strategically put two 5 foot stakes in the plant that I
use later in the season for tieing him up.  Works
great.

Roses I hope to find in '99:
 Does anyone out there know where I might find any
of the above?  

Most of those could be acquired through Heirloom
Old Garden Roses in St. Paul, Oregon or Antique
Rose Emporium in Brenham, Texas.  Sorry, I'm at
work, no further information for either.  I don't know
if they ship to BC, but there are several large rose
growers in Canada as well, if that would help.

Macreadie Sunset (yellow), and Francis
Eileste (a climbing white.)  Are these perchance
actual roses, perhaps
known  in S. Africa or Australia?

MacCreedy Sunset does sound Australian.  Sam
McCreedy (sp?) I believe has bred a lot of roses in
Australia.

I am  also interested in  unusual or rare blue flowers
and have managed to
over-winter blue Corydalis and Mecanopsis.  

Wow,  That's no small feat.  Good for you!

seeds for Gentian Sage?

Thompson and Morgan perhaps?  Do you have the
botanical name?

For mine is just a little old-fashioned garden where
the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.
