Outta the Blue gets leggy. At least mine does. Scentimental is very susceptible to thrips and hates heat so I'd give it dappled shade. Don't really like the Coffee Bean.. turns a funky burnt orange color and doesn't smell good. Drop Dead Red is a newer one (I think), smaller red but supposed to keep it's red and not blue out like Mr. Lincoln. Never heard of Palmengarten Frankfurt but here's the HMF for it: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose...

I really recommend getting a netbook/tablet/internet phone. I use my phone extensively when I'm on the hunt!

To help w/the manure & compost smell, I'd go to a good garden nursery & see if they have crushed charcoal (usually in the soil area.. it's used for African Violet soil). Get like a pound or two and put it in a paper bag. Leave the paperbag open in your car w/the windows down & park in the sun. Should remove the smell that day. If it still smells, roll up the windows & leave in there for another day in the sun. If you can't find charcoal, lemme know 'cuz the LGS here carry it. Kingsford Charcoal is NOT the same. Trust me.. it'll just make everything smell like lighter fluid. LOLL Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
