Rosa Sinensis "Matensis" one of many forms of an original Cooperii plant.Most all have red small flowers, all but the true cooperii which has dark pink flowers with a red center.

Thanks Kyle!

Now I need help actually finding it in PlantFiles, I give up! Sheesh.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

And I need that hibiscus, a huge one.

Norwalk, IA(Zone 5b)

Kell I have all 5 kinds of the cooperi forms. :-)

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

And we thought Tess was the enabler........
LOL

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

I might enable, but Kyle is the hibiscus guru...so I guess we corrupt together! I'm even doing my best to enable *him* so we stay on his good side. When he's next next big hibridizer, we'll have big time leverage...rofl...

Speaking of hib gurus, where'd Carlos go? I haven't seen him in ages?

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

Yeah, where are you Carlos?

Carlos was the one that enabled me to fall in love with June's Joy. LOL

Norwalk, IA(Zone 5b)

Carlo's is the real Guru in here. he has his act together.Wish he didn't live overseas would be fun to meet him sometime. :-) and talk shop.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Kyle, you are such a show off. Someday I am going to raid your GH. LOL

Tolleson, AZ(Zone 9a)

Ok so where do we get this one? That is one georgeous flower along witht he great variegation!! I think everyone on this forum is an enabler!!!

Northern California, United States(Zone 9a)

And where is the PalntFiles page for it so I can add the images??!!

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

as far as this enabling thing goes, I'm reminded of when my daughter was little.

She'd yell, "DON'T TICKLE ME!", throw her arms up in the air to expose her all of her ticklish bits and wait hopefully...lol...

Like mother, like daugther, I guess: "NO MORE HIBS!" I yell...but maybe I'll just poke around at so-and-so's website and just look around...rofl...

Tolleson, AZ(Zone 9a)

Yep completely agree with you Tess. I would say I resemble my 3 smaller kids who all say
" Don't tickle me" with the biggest grin I have ever seen!!! "Please do not talk me into any more plants"!!!

One of my favorite quotes is Oscar Wilde's: I can resist anything but temptation.

Sue, I didn't see an entry for that one in Plantfiles, I guess you get to be the one to add it! :)

Northern California, United States(Zone 9a)

LOVE IT! Works for me!

Sue the plant is at http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/45483/index.html Did you take any cuttings while you were at the conservatory??

Northern California, United States(Zone 9a)

Thanks George! And no I didn't but I did get a small piece from another DG member a few months ago. It's growing well and I will have to baby it through the winter.
