14 months ago. I dug up rdv and transplanted her to my slope. The transplant wasn't easy but she survived. I planted Peace in her old spot. She is doing ok but no blooms or much new growth. Today, I took a look at Peace.
The rose has different variations of color of the blooms, but violet isn't one of them. For now, they can share the cage. |

| Steve, I can't tell you how many times I've "removed" RdV here and she's still going strong -- in a spot with minimal irrigation these days, even. Nothing keeps her down: rusty, chlorotic, screaming-pink angel that she is... Yours looks pretty nice there, though. |

| I thought we had uprooted The Dark Lady (which was bright red in my soil) but no, she's come up again and amazingly this time around the rose seems to be less bright red, with more of a purplish tinge. This time she's here to stay. |

| Ingrid, The Dark Lady is pretty bright red here, too. I wonder if she is "dark" anywhere. |

| Yeah, the jury's still out for RdV in my garden...in spite of it's bloom problems, it seems to be quite vigorous as a plant. I dug mine up to try to figure out why it couldn't produce decent blooms in spite of being so large and basically vigorous, and found that the soil in which the roots were "growing" was worthless, powdery SAND- like decayed potting soil. The plant just SLIPPED OUT of that stuff, even though it'd been there 4 plus years. Enough to kill many a rose...instead,RdV 's onlt real symptom was the inability to produce good quality flowers! We shall see....bart |

| The Dark Lady here is not a bright red, but it certainly isn't dark either. Somewhere between Mr. Lincoln and Ingrid Bergman in shade, I think. |
