I've looked for the golden hops for several years and finally located
it thru a Seattle area wholesaler. I placed a large enough order so
that they HAD to deliver it (I'm nearly 3 hours away), and they left the
hops off the truck. I wanted it badly enough that I drove over JUST TO
GET MY VINES!!! And I've had no regrets. It certainly is showy!
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't do roses. I have this dread fear
of someone mistaking me for knowing something about roses if I grow one
on the premises. I don't even carry them in stock. Except for the rosa
banksia 'album' that I just got in for propogation. But I'll always
think of it as a 'vine' rather than a rose. That way, I'm covered.
