Hello Thy! :) I guess I missed your post. Thank you for the welcome back. :wink: I couldn't resist the Greenies thread. Those were the days my friend. Seems like all the old rose forum regulars have moved on to other places in cyberspace and some offline altogether. I do loves hostas but I don't hav...

Hello!
Good thing I get email notification...haven't been here since December. My how time flies!
THINK SPRING EVERYBODY!

Wishiwere...well all the forementioned get 8-10 ft.
Lillian Gibson is very fast growing.
Most take a few years to get established.

Louise Odier is the only repeat, large flowering climbers I've been able to grow with any success. It's cane hardy most winters and in milder areas of Z5 it would do even better
I'm not sure how it would do in Z4.

Forgot to mention my one and only cane hardy Dr. Griffith Buck rose...Apple Jack

Here's Lillian in 2006
She was even bigger 2007

Thy My CS is nicely fountain shaped. Its canes are very flexible yet not floppy so its perfect for training onto whatever you want. LG would be more "wild" in my experience. I have her on a trellis next to my back door....big mistake. Shes completely engulfed the trellis by year 3, you can't even se...

Love those Austins!

Nope DG I'm your neighbor to the east in mid west Michigan.

Dori those are very pretty ...what are they?
LOVE that first one.

Hey DOG!!!
Still kicking eh?
How are the pups doing?
Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Thanks Joan and you can call me by my real name Vicky.
Thanks for the update.

Thank you for the welcome.
Cottage Rose is the name of my website.
I guess because I like cottage gardens and roses.
QTee was kinda dumb anyway.
So is the old gang still here like Leaf Mould, Deb, Old Earth Dog, etc.?

Hi Lucy!
Hope all is well with you and your family and Happy Holidays!

Heres the Stargazer I got from Chris.
I think this pic is from 2006 and the clump was even more impressive this past summer.

Hey Lucy! Nope not tired of Daves...its a VERY nice forum just like Hallsons. Great group over there. i think I'm just burned out on forums in general and don't have the time to post much now that I'm working. Sounds like the Greenies have brained washed you! :wink: I think I love just about anythin...

Nifty way to wash your cats btw!

Another shot of Miss Tubby...

Dori! How long you been coming here? :P I use to post here a lot in days gone by, flew the coop, then rejoined today on a whim. (somebody asked if I was bored with DG...heck no! :wink: ) I have a 1/2 Maine Coon and she thinks shes a dog even though her name is "Miss Kitty" (DH kept calling "Tigra" "...

Looks like a Hybrid Tea rose and how nice that you have a sentimental value attached to it. Once my grown kids settle into homes where they plan to stay for awhile I want to pass on some of my roses and peonies. I think its sweet to pass plants on through the generations. My DIL has already has some...

Hi Chris! 6 years?! Good grief! :P I think all forums evolve over time. I think some people just get forum burnout. Like how many times can you talk about New Dawn anyway? :wink: Even a lot of the die hard rose geeks who use to post on the GW rose forum have drifted off to who knows where. I rarely ...

Thanks for the welcome and come on now...don't be a party pooper!

Heres another pic of KvD
