Those Mme. Alfred Carriere roses are so beautiful they break my heart. The Bishop's Castle is also lovely. I wish you a Merry Christmas, too, Devon, and the same to all the others on the forum. I may not participate much, but I hang out here a lot, reading posts and learning. In the course of all this, I've decided that this Spring I will take the plunge and order Mme. Antoine Mari and an old hybrid tea called Nigritte. So excited! Devon, I wish you a wonderful year with your new roses (and all your old ones, too)!

Oh My, I knew I should have kept Linda for my Secret Santa. LOL If ya'll have been keeping up with everything it appears that everyone is a winner so far with their exchanges. Sandy, Linda went to alot of trouble getting your stuff to Canada so it would get to you before Christmas. She had to make sure stuff was going to make it through customs and so forth. Linda, you did a great job and I'm thrilled that you were able to get it to Sandy on time. You really are a remarkable woman. I was at wits end as I didn't know what to do about the stuff going through customs. We will all be anxious to see photos of your new brugs later on Sandy. You lucky lady you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Marian

I am sooo sorry...wrong forum. This is so embarrassing. I had both forums open and didn't see which one I was typing in to. My apologise and Merry Christmas! - Sandy

Yes, I got one from her, as well. Thank you so much, Audrey. This was so nice. Another "nice" award......years ago when this site went to pay, someone paid my fee for me. I often think of how pleased I was.
