Hi there Adina, Kell, and April ~~

Thank-you all for the kind words!! Adina, I use alfalfa tea and Messenger on my roses and it really does keep them pepped up and looking nice and fresh. I am really seeing good results on all my roses, and haven't sprayed chemicals at all this season. Oh, and kell - I think you are right about that rose on the cover.....It really does look like Kaleidoscope, and I had never noticed it before. I have the book on my shelf and use it often.....good eye kell!! April ~~ I really do love living here....the Pacific Northwest is truly a wonderful place to live, and garden, and of all the places I have lived and visited I really do love it here the best! Although my Dad's family is all from Texas and he sure does speak fondly of it!! I hope to see some of your state someday....What zone are you in there?? It isn't in the margin there under your city and state.....

Thanks all of you for sharing this rose with me!! It isn't terribly fragrant, but I wouldn't be without it in my garden!! I just love that little bloom factory! Every day those blooms look different....I go out with my coffee every morning and walk in the garden....and I always go and check this rose. :-) A great start to my day, always!!
