Nery, I will look in a few for you. Might be Armstrong but the bags were red not like the Armstrongs sold at OSH so maybe not. So many of the bareroots this year are so beautiful and strong looking. So few choices though at HD or OSH compared to last year and years past. And no DAs! I wonder why. I got it at HD, what does your HD carry? Here all their trees looked so fat and happy. The trunk on this one was so fat, I was shocked! I do not even remember the name, it was a new one. Similar in color to the ones we like, Sue.

I am so desperate for a few DAs for some reason. I have my eye on 2 tree roses http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=... and Kassia agrees with me on this one http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=...

I also need a orange climber. Maybe one of you can tell me which you think would have BIG blooms of bold orange or orange blend is better and a good repeater. I had a huge crush on Leander thanks to Sue's pics of it but then read the blooms are small. So maybe Crown Princess Margareta is better? I am going to pair it with a very dark raspberry pink climber. LOL Nery. Gaud city. Have any of you seen Compassion? Which one is best do you think?

Oh Nery, I saw those green bags on TV. Do they work? I recently saw them for sale at a store too. I lied, I bought those sunglasses that were on TV ad nauseam. I got them at Walgreens on their TV aisle. I had been buying similar ones at Kaiser for $50 a pair and I go thru about 6 a year if not more. They were killing me. I loved the ones on TV and they were just $10. I am on my last one and I bought 10 pairs in summer when I found them. They are ugly but they totally cover your eyes from the top an even the sides thus protecting them from the sun.

Sue, you haven't seen me in awhile. I stopped shaving. LOL We need to have lunch soon and a nursery hop. Though I went for one with Patricia the other day and we found nothing! Well I found the rose and also huge cinerarias at Armstrongs. They were so beautiful! But not much else to capture my mind and heart.
