I am less of no help as I have no humidity. Even when it's raining is my humidity only around 60-65%! WTH? Raining? 65%? Last night it was very humid for us.. I looked on the weather website (I use weatherunderground.com) and it stated that it was 42% humidity.. a major rarity! And you can smell it, too! About 20 minutes later, it rained for about 15 seconds, then the wind picked back up and it went back down to like 20% (norms for nighttime, daytime is usually around 12-15%). And heat.. the heat here was unbearable due to the altitude (6100ft), but I think we're in our last gasp for summer (next week is supposed to have a couple of days in the 90s, but daytimes are usually in the 80s w/nighttimes in the mid/low 50s). Everyone suffered. Only roses that kept blooming were some of my Sterling Silvers, English Perfume, Sheila's Perfume, Melodie Parfumee, Blue Bayou, Summer Holiday, Magenta, Solar Flash, & New Year. Everyone else *did* bloom, but off & on and nothing uber spectacular. Oh, and some of my mini's, but that's because they're in a more protected area (next to the house).
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
