Looks like it will be a good way to find rose videos for presentation at rose society/gardening meetings. http://www.site.co.uk/drag_it/web_drags/search_all/gardening-roses-videos Here is a link that might be useful: example search

Depending on where they lived in Alaska, it could very well have been zone 4. Someone from Alaska used to post here once in awhile - can't remember who it was though. And welcome! As SCG says, we're small but mighty. I think we have one of the most active Canadian forums - i visit Gardening in Canada and Northern Gardening and many of their posts remain unanswered for a long time.

What a wonderful treasure-trove. Have been there for an hour and will go back often, I think. Thanks for sharing this one.

If I can also offer some input.... AMSCO is a very good brand that offers multiple series of vinyl and composite windows. American Window Company has been offering ASMCO (along with many other popular brands) for nearly 18 years. We are very experienced with vinyl windows and can say that the products stack up very well with nearly any other vinyl brand out there. Vista series is a nail-on only window and is budget friendly, typically used by builders that are not looking to add much in architectural details. Studio series is a step up and compares very well to Milgard Styleline, JELD-WEN Builders, Simonton DayliteMax and many others. Artisan series offers more architectural appeal with it's fitted sash fixed panel, SDL Grid option and beveled details. Renaissance series is probably the most energy efficient frame you will find. It even outperforms wood. It has similar architectural details as traditional wood products. AMSCO partners with dealers that are experts who are capable of doing on-site service, of needed. This is in lieu of having a service tech and, in my opinion, allows for the best customer experience when service is needed. Customers can rely on their already familiar contacts to address service issues promptly. As far as quality, performance and reliability, it often comes down to how the windows are ordered. Specifications like spacer type, LowE type, glass thickness, lock type, etc are all chosen at the time of ordering and all affect price. In fact, AMSCO is one of the very few that can offer dual pane windows that rival triple pane performance U-Values with their Coz-E Vantage glass packages that can achieve numbers as low as 0.26 I hope this helps, Danny
