This is all after I get my Throne done/pond made/front entry mosaiced...hmmm...I may be busy for a while.....LOL!...oh, ya, let's not forget Yoda too!!!sheesh! Here is a link that might be useful:

I agree that bs pressure is different in Europe than it is here - as hot as we experiennced in Europe it wasn't ever so humid as it is here. My zone is not the same but maybe my experience still can assist you. Olga, I have Caramel Fairy tale, Cinderella Fairy tale and Caramel Fairy tale. All three were absolutely clean till the spider mites did a number on them. Late fall Caramel Fairy tale had some weird spots, looked anthracnose rather than blackspot. Maybe it was cercospora. I can, (I hope or think), differentiate between blackspot and anthracnose but diagnosing cercospora is hit and miss with me (it usually works in my case as process of elimination rather than positive ID). Cinderella also got some spots in winter but again, I do not think that was blackspot. To my present surprise, both Floral fairy tale and Caramel Fairy tale are fragrant. Let me add, that we sprayed once before we left overseas - but these shrubs were NOT sprayed and due to illness, surgery and so forth I could not spray till mid-August. That time these shrubs were sprayed not because of spots but because of the spider mite infestation and to kill two birds with one stone, we mixed Avid with tebuconazole, so that time all roses were sprayed including those that I never sprayed before or after. My favorites are Floral Fairy tale and Caramel Fairy tale. They do grow taller and wider than I expected but I trust your pruning skills, LOL. I post a few photos of Floral fairy tale showing the foliage. The first was taken in April, next 1 or 2 in early may while the last one in August in August I found only one picture of caramel Fairy tale that shows foliage (looks the plant had either iron deficiency or some other nutrient deficiency - no wonder since I could not water, we had no rain and I missed fertilizing)

I have 2 CFT roses planted in pots and both of them turned out to be a climber. I've got them last year in June as barerooted, and now they've reached the height of our french doors. I'm thinking of getting rid of them. Don't get me wrong, the flowers do look pretty and the leaves are healthy, leathery and dark green - but I just couldn't smell anything. Well, the scent is very mild apple - nothing exciting to rave about. Secondly, the thorns are sharp, and I keep getting several scratches on my hands and face. Maybe if I have a large backyard I might keep both of them...see how it goes. Perhaps I'll give them another year.

Mama G, I noticed the blue bottles first thing. Also the plate rack cabinet which is different from most I've seen. I want one row for 11 inch plates vertical, one row for small plates, and then what is left over, maybe have that flat storage shelf at the bottom. I want to put my white stuff in those, and the colorful dishes in the glass door cabs in the dining room. Where there are open shelves, you need to use things frequently to keep dust to a minimum, or wash those items regularly anyway. Behind glass doors, displayed pretty dishes stay cleaner. I have my DH's family china he saved from his mama's house, something like American Limoge, creamy white with a gold band. I have a set of Sakura jungle animals and parrots that I'd like to keep visible but safe too. The cups and dessert plates have a gorgeous design. Has anyone heard from Springfield recently?
