[Rose-list] Heirloom Roses once again

**e* <e*@europa.com>**

Hi back Carleen and Susan..
Was talking to sis this morning (she's in Leavenworth WA and its Mai-Fest 
weekend and VERY cold, not much in flower I'm afraid)
Sis said "You silly old lady..when I sent you the Old Rose Advisor, it 
was followed by a shipment of bare root roses, including Reine des 
Violettes,Cecile Brunner and one other that I can't remember".
Sure enough, I have 6 old roses in my long perennial bed, hiding amongst 
the Peace and Mr Lincoln.
The Violettes was absolutely lovely last summer..I fell in love with the 
scent and the precious shape of this rose.
So I have Old Roses and didn't even know it!
I'd love to meet you and Susan at St. Paul when you go..just let me know 
when.
Meanwhile I got another sweet flower for Mothers Day today..slightly off 
topic I'm afraid, but my children gave me a dark eyed white ferret (I 
already have 5 ferrets, and 3 of them are my 'flower children', 
Daphne,[another dark eyed white girl] Daisy[ a yellow/cinnamon girl] and 
Shy Violet.[so named for her personality..she is always hiding and very 
shy].
I haven't found a Rosie yet!
