Thanks for urging everyone else to post comments. In particular, please post comments for your favorite roses, so that we will have a more accurate top 25 next year.
waytago Rita!
You tackled 300+ pages and posted 88 comments so fast I didn't even get a chance to look up all the roses yet!
Re: the database, it seems to me, as a newbie to all of this, that real comments from real people with real experience can only be a good thing...
The metric to select the top 25 'favorite' may need to be revisited for accuracy, but the top 25 'most talked about', 'most photographed', 'most viewed', or most ?, is still interesting though.
Cindi--hang in there
and when you can't dig or pull weeds... and you happen to have something to say about one or two plants just say it. That's a whole lot less overwhelming, way more fun than taxes, and seems more beneficial for the database and surfers than nothing...
I'm thinking a want a 'Penelope'...
