Joyce... I'm glad you started the thread also.. A few weeks ago I got the same package of the double hawaiian x l'Amoure.. good choice... I was going to wait a few weeks to start it... but with such success as you've had ... perhaps I should get mine going right away.. Thanks...
Kell... I got soaring spirits last spring.. part of the monies go to the victems of the 9-11 Trade tower disaster... it was gorowing without flowering all summer ... it started in September ..and come 9-11 it had burst into bloom... I don't know if it is a late season bloomer or just here for me.. let me know when it blooms.. after it was a good flowering rose.. well into the cold of fall here
I was watching the attack from my roof.. after the first one hit ..which I could feel in my bathtub..then saw it on TV and ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''I went up to the roof... hoisted my big flag and watched them burn... black smoke blowing out over the harbor and the Statue of Liberty... with millions of silver sparkles in the black smoke... then it occoured to me what I was looking at... after thinking they were the soals or spirits heading heavenward.. it came to me .. that they were millions of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper sucked up unburned in the updraft of the fire...from thousands of copy machines... bright white sheets .. reflecting... sparkleing in the sun of the clear bright day.. then their collapse...
Good luck with yours... Gordon
