I am sorry you take offense summer fashion -- I was just trying to point out that there are other places for this rare rose. As the grower of over 600 roses, many of which are rare, I try to do my part to keep some of these in commerce, and have given cuttings to many different growers. My initial question was simply directed at trying to figure out if I had the rose that was supposedly "the last one," and if I did have it, to get it out there to some distributers. FYI -- Cliff is the proprieter of Eurodesert Roses and he specializes in distributing rare roses. And to answer your question about Gregg -- no I do not think he would necessarily have driven down and gotten another one -- he has his hands full keeping all the roses already in his 4000 rose collection. I would be shocked if he were adding more, even if he happens to lose one. As for you complaint about "hi-jacking", I am sorry that you posted your Kudzu question on the rose board. Maybe you should have put it on the appropriate forum in the first place, rather than worrying about someone changing the subject of your post back to the subject of the board.

Doesn't seem to have curly top virus ... just kind-of droopy. Is that the aphids, or is there something else going on? It's raining today, so maybe some will be washed off, but we'll spray it down if they're still there tomorrow. (That's a pepper plant next to it.) This is a new planter ... previous years we've used an orange one of the same shape; I think this one is a tiny bit bigger than the old one, both self watering from Gardener's Supply (the orange one is probably like ten years old). The ladders are the same ones we always use, and this is the same location where we've grown Striped Roman the last few years. It is droopier the hotter it is, but it's not even hot today and it's still not as perky as the others. Potting soil is all or mostly Coast of Maine potting soil. (We might of dumped the end of another bag in the bottom, still new potting soil, just maybe lower quality.) If not the bugs, is the new pot causing this? Something systematic? What should I do for it to get it to perk up?

Few Tips for folks building steamers. A. Always choose a real True Porcelain tile. B. Make sure and place the steam head in proper location/direction.. You certainly could have essential oil vapor carried into the glaze of your ceramic It paramount to have the steam head placed propelry and draining Downward. Really need to know more about the build behind the walls. Did the perimeter around the steam head get detailed properly. regards to bleach its never a good idea in a steam/tile shower although it likely didn't ruin the tile glaze in just one spot. especially to the hard right of the head..

"Someone said to call Coretec and put in a complaint that the flooring is defective." How would construction dust make the flooring "defective"?
