I don't know her name, but I like her.
Comments (27)I have a "Prairie Rose" or Carolina Rose. It has a great lemony fragrance and fills my yard with it's scent. Own root roses (OGR) look much like that. Even David Austin loved them and used them (for their fragrance, hardiness and disease resistance) and crossed them with other roses to create his awesome English roses. I have several OGR. All are very, very heady fragrant and only bloom in Spring. (but worth the wait for what they bring to the garden IMHO). They are stoleniferous (spread by root stolens), but not so fast that you can't shovel prune them. Mine are just beginning to bud and bloom now. They will be in full bloom in May and bloom from 4-6 weeks. Blooms are small as are the leaves, compared to other roses. The light fragrance, large leaves and the leaf rust tells me that it is probably NOT an OGR. I think she may be a Climbing Old Blush. She prefers some shade to conserve moisture. Her blooms have double petals and is blousy, and she has pointed leaves, all like yours. Check out the link below. Make sure you read all the info at the bottom of the page, too. ~Annie Here is a link that might be useful: Climbing Old Blush - pictures and information...See MoreLicorice . . .

Comments (8)Well, I'm sitting here with a bowl of dried A. pringlei flower stalk (all the leaves are long gone) on one side of me, and a bowl of A. foeniculum flower stalk on the other side...and thinking about how to describe the differences in aroma! They are definitely different. Yes, A. pringlei is just as strongly aromatic (actually more so, in these dried samples), but with a more lavender-like fragrance, and mostly lacking the suggestion of anise that I get from the foeniculum. Yet not exactly like lavender (L. angustifolium) either...as I sniff away at a handful of that too... Well, words fail me... (Maybe I should pull out a wine magazine and peruse the descriptive range of scents and flavors...venturing far off topic, sorry, but it never ceases to amaze me the vast range of sensations those wine critics glean from an $8 bottle of plonk - kind of makes one wonder why they'd ever waste money on the more expensive ones, LOL!) Rick, in the article you attached, it's the flavor of A. pringlei that the author rates as "good" - apparently, he uses the leaves and/or flowers in salads. Hmm, never thought of that...

Comments (4)One of the great things about this America we live in is that you can have anything you want. So, if the brand name on the fixture piece is sticking in your craw, you can have a customizing shop remove it. It might be worth mentioning that the reason it is so well-accepted is that name Grohe is something of a status symbol. Some people are impressed by their reputation for high-end plumbing fixtures. But, I certainly sympathize with you. I was first made aware of this when I realized that car dealers would attach their own logo to the vehicle before it was offered for sale. The problem seems to solve itself, when the dealer-logo falls off after a few years of exposure to salt  either road salt or sea salt. Take your pick. Anyhow. For every Âanti- there is an aficionado. After a few years of service, the stopper will move a bit. And the brand name will be mis-read as "He Gro." IÂd give a fortune to see that in the bottom of my sink every morning.
