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 MoreI don't know whether anyone cares about this, but
Comments (14)I don't care. Anyone who spells as bad as I do, couldn't even post if it wasn't for spell check. As long as it's close enough for me to get the drift of what the person is talking about, I'm good. What is actually more confusing to me are very common names that are used for several completely different plants, like 'Butterfly bush', Firecracker plant', 'Bird of paradise', or 'Shrimp plant'. With these, I like to include the botanical name, or at least give a description so people will not have to guess which plant I'm talking about. Jim...See MorePinktopia ???

Comments (6)It reminded me of Jonathan Adler..a very colorful guy in all senses..rather, him saying in one of his books he doesn't like neutrals-unless they're from nature, like clay, or yarn, or stone, or wood, or.. When in nature-whatever it might be-we're deeply touched by very different settings ..I don't know why but let's pretend that's because there's invisible hand of the Master that put it all together, and we don't know another worlds, not yet, so we are touched by ours. When in home-if one can get one seventieth of that Master's touch..it changes our general connotations. Because there's texture, variation, light, all this, yes-plus something made by hand, taking this natural things, clay and wood, etc, and working on them, and loving them while working. Simple things-yet they all get to sing. I know this because for example I also have variated terracotta tile in the bath-and it's less variated, just three colors..and it's textured custom too..and we were there when the guys from the shop were working on color and texture , working on samples, showing them to us..we waited with them, we were witnesses to that process, and you see the real excitement and passion that goes into creating and playing with things like that. (they liked the pallette themselves and made a sample of it for the store, and called it "April's". lol) And this excitement, passion and patience is what probably makes what was clay and wood shine under that light. It brings together what they are-natural materials-and what people with passion and patience wished them to be, and got them to be. So. That's why I love my grays and my browns.. Even though my house is pretty colorful-no one will call it neutral It's true, they remind me some scenes from my childhood which I percieve as happy. And all sorts of things. The juxtaposition. Of course I prefer certain grays and certain browns, that's normal. For example I love mostly very warm grays. And (surprize) mostly warm browns)) But also because some of them, I witnessed to be made, I knew them to be painstaikingly made, or I knew nobody made it, it was created like that- and I was just lucky to spot it, like a piece of gray marble with golden rusty streaks..and it makes it a bit more magical. Sense of discovery can come in many shapes. It can be quiet and subdued. And nothing we generaly like even maybe. Yet it still will be a sense of discovery. I would love to do truly neutral room one day, just like a challenge even. yet I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pull it off.....See MorePagefan
