that sounds like what move of the girls do anyways. well, that is HD for you. They do have them. I saw them before she showed them to us....It was in the boxed items where you can buy one or contractor can buy box. It was near the pipe strap metal tape....I will look and get the exact name at my HD tomorrow...and the stock No. It is one block from me or I would travel 6 miles to Lowes if I really want something...good luck with what you did find. And I will feel really bad for spouting off it it was at Lowes, lol.

Hi Jane, They are all Phals looks like. They definitly had way too much light. They are very light leaves because he had them on a south window. So while not really any burn marks they are probably very stressed. Overwatering, yes for sure. The big glass bowl it was in has no drainage and given the condition of the roots, alot of them rotted along with the decaying medium. They are just neglected. I have done some videos and pictures, I just have to edit it and put it together and ill put it up on youtube. So far the ones I did clean up and cut, the remaining looked quite healthy and bright green when watered. Even some tips have pale green and red tip which perhaps is just very young?

Steve--I've tried growing some Reticulatas and R. hybrids outdoors without success here in 7a--they just don't make it through the winter even with protection. As a compromise, I've grown a couple of them in pots which get brought into my cool sunroom for the winters. Well worth the effort--Clifford D. Parks is simply the most astounding bloom I've ever seen. Kai Mei's Choice also does well in the pot. They're kind of straggly, but Reticulatas grow that way--not in an unattractive way, but definitely less full than the Japonicas I also grow in pots. And, bonus! they start their bloom in the sunroom in February when everything outdoors is still dormant and ravaged by the dingblursted deer. Indoors, the blooms individually last about 2 weeks on the bush and by the time they finish up, things get going outdoors. Give it some thought. -eric

Roses Unlimited (RU) does not have Rosa rubrifolia (R. glauca). I googled the R. Glauca rose to procure more information...and wow...it is beautiful! I will need to find this rose from a different vendor (maybe next year). I am ordering the following roses. Are these roses are well suited for our WA climate zone (esp. for disease resistance, hardiness, and adaptability). 1. Climbers: Alister's Gift 2. Hybrid Musk: Bubble Bath 3. Polyanthas: La Marne 4. Hybrid Tea: Sweet Promise 5. Floribunda: Easter Basket (will this work in WA?) I am also considering Evangeline, Echo, and Lorenzo Pahissa but am undecided at this time. Kindly let me know if there are other roses on the sale page that may work better for our climate. Thank you very much in advance for your kind help! - Reem Here is a link that might be useful: RU Summer Sale
