This has turned out to be a nice plant considering how it looked when I first put it in a month ago. It has it's first bloom open tonight but the color hasen't changed on it yet.
I'll try and get a pic tomorrow by then it should be pink.

David -- your Rosenquartz and garden look lovely!
Sure looks good. I have Rosenquartz but when my yard man was here helping me with all the mulch, either he knocked the tag down and covered it with mulch or just made the mulch so deep it is covered. I have to wait for bloom now to find it.
Looks great, David
Looking very healthy David! I hope you are feeling better! Take care of yourself!
OK
I have roses
I have quartz rocks
I have no rozenquartz
I'm sooo deprived......
It looks great!!!!!
very healthy looking plant David. I love full folage on a brug.
Your plant looks great David. I need to go out and have a talk with mine!
It looks great David!
Great looking plant and I am looking forward to seeing the color the blooms turns ut to be. Everything looks so neat and tidy.
Everything looks really good David.
LOL CC. You're way ahead of me because I have no roses or quartz rocks. :-)
As I promised a pic of rosenquartz in full color.
Nice PINK!!!
WOW! That's what I call a nice Pink brug. Love it.
Does anyone know where this one can be purchased? I waiting 7 months to receive it from NH before they emailed me their brugs were sick. I've never seen it for sale anywhere else.
Beautiful !!!
Oh my gosh!!! That color really jumps out!! Awsome David!
Very pretty David. I hope I'll be able to recognize mine when it blooms since a lot of my tags mysteriously disappeared. Maybe in the wind....I don't know where, but they are just plain gone.
Its beautiful!
It is very beautiful!
Love it David, the bloom is gorgeous and your garden looks 'fabalos'. I think everything you sent me last year is alive and healthy, but not blooming. I may be in Surfside/MB area in a few weeks, would love to be able to meet you.

Hi David!! We are in the same zone. Your rosenquartz appears to be planted in the ground. And, it is beautiful and looks like it loves where it lives. Do you bring it in to winter?? What kinda luck do you have with the plants you leave in the ground??? SherryLike
Another hot pink! I love it!
Wow David....I don't know how I missed this thread! That is just beautiful!!!
Sherry,
All of my brugs with the exception of Charles Grimaldi are all new for me as of March 2003. I had about 40 varieties planted directly in the ground,of which about 30 overwintered and came back this spring. The ones that didn't will not be replaced and at them oment I can't think of the names of those.
As for rosenquartz it was overwintered in my gh becasue I didn't recieve the cutting until late November of 03 and by then it was too late for planting it outside. Right now it is planted in the ground and gets full sun from about 3 pm until dark.
Sylvia I don't know of anyone who sells this one other than NH. I did not purchase it directly from them but got it in a trade form someone else. I'd be glad to share mine with you but you know of the problems I had with the brugs earlier on this year and don't want to be responsible for possibly spreading any disease or fungus,though this plant is green and healthy with no signs of any crud. And besides I really have no desire to be drug through the mud again as I was before.
I will take cuttings of this one when the chance for frost comes again just so I know i'll have a backup. The mother will stay in the spot she is in now.
That's a real beauty. How do you keep the bugs from eating up your leaves? I have some that look like swiss cheese.
It's beautiful David. :-)
Beautiful David!!!
She's just gorgeous, David. Great job!
Gosh, David, I typed an entire post that apparently didn't fly, it REALLY irks me when that happens. I sincerely appreciate your reply. I would love to know which of your many brugs did not make it in our zone, 8a. I would like to restrict the brugs I acquire to those that , at the least, have a chance in our zone. While, I suppose each zone has it's ups and downs, with regard to gardening, I would say that zone 8a is quite nice, and, or, at least okay, ya know, a nice growing season and a reasonably mild winter, most years, but does not mean that there might not be a (((HOT>DRY))) summer that takes us all down or a winter that is cold as a well digger's fan tanny. Whatever, I'd love to know which brugs are the best to grow in zone 8a....
David, it is rbeautiful and such a pretty pink and the foliage is so nice. Like those tendrils also. Let me know how she holds up in the heat as the summer gets hotter.
Hi David,
Glad she has done well for you (o:
One of my very favourite brugs.
Alice
Alice......where have you been. I have missed you here.
I've been wondering the same thing Frannie. I've tried to call a few times but get no answer and I know Alice has her own business and is very busy this time of year so i'm sure that's why we are not seeing her as much as we do during the off season.
Sherry, I'll try and get some names of the ones that didn't make it for me this past winter. I agree zone 8a is a nice place to grow and we do have a fairly long season,but as you say we can get those bitter cold winters every now and again,this past one being a cold one in my opinion for us here in S.C. and then in the summer as this one has turned out to be so far it can be hotter'n ,well you all know the expression I used beofore that could have gotten me in trouble about witche's boobs!! Oh I forgot to mention it can also be extremely BONE dry here as it has been so far this spring and summer.
Linda I haven't had to use anything on the brugs so far for worms or insects but I sure did last year. The only problem i'm having so far is little green worms on some of the perennial type hibiscus and they look like triple swiss cheese!
Frannie so far it's holding up good in the heat but the spot this one is in is protected by a flowering pear and doesn't really get full sun until late afternoon and the blooms you see in the pics are kinda tucked inside the plant and shaded by the leaves. As to how well blooms exposed will hold up i'll have to wait and see and I can't imagine it getting much hotter than it already is here. We've had a day or two up close to 98 already.
So I take it David that you are all better! Glad to hear it!! One of the girls told me you were so very, very sick. We were all worried!
Went to a new DR. this morning as the first never gave me an actual diagnosis and the meds didn't do much for me. The new doc tells me that I have a nasty lingering case of bronchitis and gave me 3 new prescriptions to take so maybe next week I can say that I actually feel better but as for now I don't really.
A week of working with this stuff and little or no sleep becasue of coughing continuosly all night long hasn't been much fun.
Hang in there David. Maybe this combo of meds will do the trick for you. It's too bad you can't take some time off and just rest too. That would probably do you more good than anything. I do understand that sometimes we can't do that though.
Oh I am so sorry! You really have it bad. Sometimes summer respiratory infections are the worse. I sure hope these meds do the trick. You are too nice to be so sick!
I was at work this morning but decided to leave after returning from the DR. because I also have to work tomorrow and will have around 60 hours when I leave.
You are working too hard. I don't think I've ever worked a 60 hour week in my life other than maybe in my own yard.
