Joanie,

<<Does anyone have a shrub rose 'Blanc Double de Courbet' that's reached
7', or
beyond, yet? What have you used to attractively underplant it?
>>

Don't have it, but it has been on my "must have" list since i first
got interested in roses - alas i "don't have", yet.  How would you
describe the leaves of yours - are they really blue-green or just
not true-green?

OT - as for apple scion wood - i was simply going to mooch
off of friends trees.  I know a couple that is retired and have
about 100 trees.  They were going to raise and sell apples
during their retirement but they are too busy.  I would like
to get scions from their Prima (disease resistant var.) and
their Blushing Golden.  Plus i was going to try and rework
part of my huge, old (obviously), unknown apple tree - using
cuttings from my own young orchard.

Roses - i am going to have to get back to planning my
rose beds.  Our remodiling is done and i need a climber
(or two) beside our porch - something fragrant most of the
season.  Any ideas?
