Last year, Lowes had several pots of roses with 2 grafts. I bought 2 different ones, and when they bloomed, discovered that each did indeed have 2 roses, but none were what the labels said they were! I did get one good one somewhere else that has Pink Iceberg and Burgundy Iceberg. I saved a few of the Dr. Hueys that I dug out with the plan to practice budding, and I want to bud several different ones just to see what happens.
We just had a severe storm blow through here. Branches are down but we still have power. Weather Channel says our winds were 80 mph and I believe it. I was outside planting and winds went from nothing to 50 very suddenly. My wooden ardirondack chairs blew by me as I was running to the door. Every time we get a hailstorm forecast, I pull all my Hoyas and orchid pots out of the trees and move my planters under the eaves. I need a larger porch! I have too many roses in pots still!
