Pam, sports are really interesting to me, really fascinating. It's especially nice when there are sports of some of my favorite roses such as Marie Pavie/Daly, SdlM/SdSA, Gruss/Pink Gruss. Thanks for sharing Phillip Robinson's thoughts ... food for thought. Krista, the foliage seems the same to me on both "versions" of MP, which is to say both are large-sized leaves for a polyantha. Florence, I liked that third one too, with the bloom hanging below the pot and the old wood bench that my step father made for me. He's a great guy, I also have bird houses in the garden that he made. Hamp, I'll be monitoring the new MP over the summer. My first impressions of it are very, very good, and I'm happy I placed the order from Vintage. A little rose like this with all that fragance being produced deserves to live in my garden. Randy

difference between using a cold frame and wintersowing?
Q
Comments (7)
From a high level winter sowing is more of an overall technique of growing plants from seed; it is not just about using milk jugs. Some people do use cold frames, structures similar to cold frames and even greenhouses and still call their method winter sowing. Using individual clear containers is the more common method. Probably the biggest draw for winter sowing is the low cost and ease at which people can get started. Growing plants under lights, growing plants in a green house and growing plants in a cold frame are viable methods, but if you have $10 to your name and no carpentry skills then you can still get started winter sowing with a few packs of seed, a bag of potting mix and some milk jugs. One difference between a cold frame and a milk jug is that people leave the tops off their milk jugs so that the containers will get some natural water. With most cold frames you would have to provide supplemental water. - Brent

How fabulous! I haven't built my front bathroom yet, so the world remains my oyster. I really love the metal looks, particularly the brushed nickle looking one, and the darker metal, shoji-type one. Gorgeous! I want to know, too. Christine

Wow, that is gorgeous, you did a great job on it.

Decoratingnut - I believe the pink background is a vintage pink doily. Correct me if I'm wrong Mojo.

That's so pretty! Is there a mirror behind it? And is that pink lace covering it? I think I may have all the "ingredients" for this project! Except a vintage hankerchief...I'll have to look for those. I have quite a few pairs of gloves,we used to get a new pair every Easter when we were young :)

the background is vintage pink lace piece (a scrap i had laying around forever didnt have the heart to throw it away lol)....just lace added to the background...then i added a vintage hankerchief then vintage gloves with dried carnations and a dried rose....i used spray addhesive for the lace background but used pins to ensure i didnt ruin the gloves or hanky....I cant wait to find another frame like this....

Mojo,
So very sweet indeed. With the Christmas decorations now down and winter upon us, that is a wonderful idea for a project. However, I have no special treasures such as those in the frame.....so off to the thrift shop I go!
