Just one - "been there, done that".
We grow gorgeous, long-lasting blooms on our roses in the colder
climes PLUS I have Japanese irises still blooming......this has been going
on for weeks, friends. Okay, I only have two plants in bloom but I just
found a green bud on one of my LITTLE SNOWMAN and it is growing so I ex-
pect it to be open in a few days and it should still be in bloom in -
SEPTEMBER! Give you any thoughts? :-)

p.s. Am I the only person on the list to still have JI's flowering?? How
about Ted and Linda R.?? How many plants does one have to have to
qualify as a display garden? I have been showing people the JI's for
almost five weeks - and I just have 12!!
