Skie,
Thanks! I'll adopt her if you do decide she needs to go. Poor Sonya. Wonder why she isn't like the others?
I was ranting somewhere on here about Austin not sending me a 2014 catalog, then decided to check my mailbox. OMG. The mailbox was stuffed absolutely full, and we have one of those large rural ones! We've been out of town 25 of the last 30 days, but I thought my daughter had brought the mail in! I have several plant and seed catalogs to look at now.
Austin has their "buy 5-get cheapest one free" offer again. Only I thought it was, "buy 4 get cheapest one free" in the past? Anyone remember?
The catalog has a page in the back where all the roses are arranged by color. It might be a good page to save for confirming identities. I have trouble telling the yellow Austins apart. They do differ in size, though. I have some that are 6 feet tall and wide!
Our temps went to -9, so I may have lost roses that are considered zone 7 plants, along with all the other plants that are technically zone 7. The roses are mulched, so we'll see how much help that is. I don't know if we had snow cover when it got that cold. Probably not.
