Alrighty! *S* The card was made using a sheet from a wallpaper sample book (neat idea,huh?) and this is the front of it. This is the inside with the page from a Hymnal. In all honesty, I think I could have done better, but it DID give me some ideas!*S* Funny think is, I don't have a clue who the person is that sent it! lol She signed her name and initals under it! Took me a bit to figure THAT out..but it's the Church where Ronnie and I got married. Uh...I haven't attended that Church in over 40yrs!

I have Carding Mill own-root now and after two years it's a foot high and might have had one bud that I took off. I had it before on root stock, I think from Austin, and it exploded and bloomed all the time and did not frizzle as I remember Monsieur Tillier and Clementina Carbonieri did that I planted nearby. It's hotter and drier now but I think this is still a good rose for a hot inland climate, especially if you can give it late afternoon shade. I hope that my dwarf will grow and give me a bloom or two before I die but I'm not counting on it. My only hope is that this rainy winter might have given it more of an incentive to thrive, although it had plenty of water before then. I don't grow the other rose, and in fact don't have any of the newer Austins. If I were you I would give Carding Mill a try, only not own-root, unless I just ended up with a dud. Edited: I cross-posted with you pat, but your rose is gorgeous. Sorry about the blackspot. My former one never had any disease and neither does my present dwarflet.

They work like any reloadable gift card. I would caution two things. If he is having problems mentally he may not be able to use it. If he is receiving any type of governmental assistance like reduced rent, utilities, Medicaid not Medicare giving him money may affect what he can receive in benefits. Sending him a care package of food he normally eats will not in most states. Some of the types of senior benefits coordinate between federal and state programs and what affects one may or may not affect another. If you are not his guardians/conservators you should talk to that person if there is one first to see if he is capable of even handling a card.
