I have grown Ophelia own root where own root HTs, really many own root roses period, did quite well. In that garden, there was no shade other than from neighboring rose bushes, so the plants didn't have to reach for light. It was mid Southern California desert and the sun reached the hillside from about six AM until it set behind the mountain across the valley, six PM or later. Ophelia grew about three feet high by two feet wide and provided a few flowers at a time much of the year. I'm sure her performance would have been better had she been budded. Her performance and productivity were very similar to her sports Lady Sylvia, Rapture and Mme. Butterfly. In the extremes of that garden, they often appeared very similar. I've always thought their differences would probably have been easier to detect in a climate with much less severe heat and sun intensity. There were usually few fungal issues there due to the aridity and higher heat levels. I have no idea what you should expect in Atlanta. Kim

It has a 4 " exhaust (chimney) if you look at the top picture It shows. under the exhaust whole it has a complete opening to draft cold air in with the exhaust. the area of the opening is about the same size as the 4" exhaust if not bigger. Will I have a problem when I first light it and the fumes just coming out into my work space. I hope you understand my point. I will assume it just take the rout of least resistance once the chimney gets hot and it will go up instead of down to the opening

My Poor Plant came to Me VERY Battered About.....

I have been tasked with clearing out a house, and these chairs are there. Planning to sell them online, but not knowing what kind of chairs they are I'm not sure how much to ask for them! They're not in fantastic shape but I wanted to check if anyone can tell me anything about them!
