I only lost one rose that won\'t be replaced - one of my two \'The Dark\' Lady from two years ago. It was the less substantial of the two, and I was not surprised, because a TON of ice slipped off the roof and crushed it. But I still have the other one, which was much larger and more substantial.

And then , I have a theory that a loss is sometimes a gain. That rose was really fuchsia, not red, and I had had my eye on \'Navy Lady\' a fairly new Canadian rose that High Country Roses seems to be the only supplier of in thie country.

Now this is RED:

As opposed to TDL, lovely as it is (see pic)

And High Country Roses is a family company. They are the only company that can send me roses in September that survive the winter (ah, altitude in Colorado - not for sissies!)
