Hey Steve! Are you saying that people in Colorado are ugly? Huh? Is that what you're saying?

(you know what, you'd be right. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing One of my favorite things to do is to go to the Mile High Marketplace, which used to be the flea market, but they're trying to upscale it 'cuz flea markets are just SOOOOO icky Whistling [I love flea markets!!]. Anyways, I love to people watch while there, especially if I was set up to get rid of some junk. And you know what? There's some UGLY people in this world!)

We still love ya. *HUG* At least y'all were able to figure out some possibles. I was at a complete blank. That's why I love this place here, no one is super high-and-mighty-I'm-soooooo-much-smarter-than-everyone-else . I know that I'm one of the beginners here and my suggestions are usually so wide off the mark, you'd wonder if I'd ever even seen a rose, let alone grown any. But you know what? How else do we learn? And, honestly, from what I've seen, California may have the perfect soil, perfect rain, perfect sun, and the perfect people, but they also have the perfect taxes and the right to tell people what kind of pets they can have and what kinds of pets they can't have. Plus, why is it that you see something and it has a tag or a warning that states "The State of California has determined that this item can cause cancer." What, it doesn't cause cancer in, say, Nebraska? LOL!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we all get frustrated. No problems. This is a pretty tall order to try & find that needle in the haystack. Plus, considering that I'm finding out the hard way that roses can have more than 1 name, or 3 "different" roses all look identical (especially to a novice like me). We (I'm using a judicial "we" here, but my contributions are more of a comedic sidekick rather than a actual contributor) may stumble upon the right rose. We may not. All we can do is try. Especially considering I was thinking that it was a Pink Climbing Blaze, but Blaze doesn't come in pink, I don't think. :)

*big hug!*
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
