roses

Hello out there!

I had a problem with sending e-mail until I could take a few hours off
work and get technical support from my server.  I got all my mail but
could send none.  Now I am just bubbling over with information about my
roses.  My very favorite one is a HT named pristine.  I love the
bi-colors and this is the most delicate and lovely one I have ever
seen.  I have another favorite that I saw blooming but I have no idea
what the name is as it had no tag and no one could find the information
from the shipper.  It is a brilliant orange with a yellow reverse.

I have a little black spot on a few of the roses but nothing really
agressive or worrisome.  Have found no sign of mildew.  It is too dry
here to ever have mildew without a strong climate change.

The roses had very little scent in summer but now they are so fragrant
they perfume the whole front yard.

I think one would be wiser to wrap a bar of soap in netting, then cut
another square of netting, cover it with rose petals and wrap it around
the bar of soap and cover the whole thing with plastic coated paper or
clear plastic etc.  Things embedded in soap tend to cause problems for
the user.  It is hard to explain a rose petal attached to one's nose or
worse!

I am preparing to move my roses next month.  I should prune them soon
but I want to wait till the last bud has opened and I have wrung the
last morsel of beauty from them.

Happy growing and enjoying your roses.
