Happy, you will probably want to prune your REMONTANT -- repeat-blooming -- roses sometime between late-November and the end of February (depending upon where in Southern CA you are located). PLEASE NOTE: When you prune your repeat-bloomers, you will probably not remove more than a third of the existing growth. ONCE-bloomers (such as Dr. Huey) are pruned in late spring/early summer, once their big spring bloom is completed. But that is, IF what you have is 'Dr. Huey'. Please do use the link here to go to HelpMeFind and look at the images and text for 'Dr Huey'. Finally, if your big "climbers" really are 'Dr. Huey,' you may wish to remove them, and replace them with other roses. "Huey" is really spectacular in his spring bloom, like a fountain of dark red wine. But after that, in Southern California, he can be a real martyr to disease. There are better climbing roses, both old and modern. Jeri Here is a link that might be useful: 'Dr. Huey,' at HelpMeFind

Have you cross-posted to The Old House Forum? Might be some advice there. Good luck with your great find! Here is a link that might be useful: The Old House Forum

well you do need to be updating your IE to IE 7 at least very soon because support for 6 is ending or has already ended and you will be with out security updates for it so that is critical. I would remove aol then try to re-install it if you just insist on having it, I try to steer people off of aol because it is such a problem child and it really is not needed. as zep said we need more info on exactly what is happening when it is happening and what error messages you are getting.

It's very nice to share the kind comments, but there are many situations when there are better information sources to turn to than this forum. Which is what I said in the other recent post concerning the ipad setup question. We're all just fellow users here.
