Hi Keny, I was down in your neighborhood today. On a rose *gluttony* picture
taking tour.  :-)  The ARS gardens at Capitol Park, Capitol nursery on
Freeport  ( Where one very disobedient  rose insisted it needed to jump into
my car and demanded I take it home)   and Michael's Roses off Bradshaw.  My
son was doing entrance exams at sac state.


*****Harold I was hoping to make it  up to Beautiful View , but DS got done
early and called me back to  return him to work in Nevada City.   Do you
have anything blooming this week???? I might have to go back down Monday.

I personally have been most successful with  planting the late spring Siberian arrivals
into the ground, but watering them EVERY day,  morning *and*  night  no
matter what, until the rain comes and it cools off.  I have had far better
success than when I tried to hold them in pots in the shade.  IMHO  the
roots get too hot in pots,  sometimes you might see some browning of the
leaves, DON'T STOP WATERING, they might be OK.   I've seen them send up new
leaves after browning off shocky stuff then be fine ,increase and bloom the
following spring.

How big are your new plants?  BTW there were a couple older varieties at
Capitol Nursery and Harold has some great ones in pots not too far from you.
From  Deb,  who is glad to be back in the hills.
