Fragile Flower.

Unfortunately, I think that Tamora hit her peak last night. So here's AUSblush a.k.a Heritage!

I've heard so many bad things about this rose, but gardeners in CT seem to like it. I've always been attracted to Heritage. I figure it wouldn't hurt to try it out!

Another reroot by me.

Can't make Kristen do everything, LOL...

Though she did get the doll's head off for me. She was on a NEO body and removing the head from that body is a harrowing experience! I switched it out for a Bihaku Excellent B body. Now she's slimmer and fits into more clothes!

Roses incoming.

Within the next two weeks, unless somebody screws something up.

Hybrid Perpetual Rose "Reine des Violettes"

Climbing Rose "Alchymist"

David Austin Rose "Ambridge Rose"

I was poking around in the behind-the-garage bed and noticed that our wee Felicite Parmentier has had a child!!! She's shot up a lookalike cane about 5 inches from the main plant. I'm not sure if it's a sucker or a basal cane. I am so stoked. I guess that's what she was doing with that massive rootball over the winter? Gallicandy did the same thing, LOL...
