| Can you believe it..Brian and I went for coffee and since Raft Island opened this weekend we stopped in there. Great sale 15.95! I was talking to the owner Frank Gatto and told him that I knew OF HIM..and I knew a few folks from the Garden Web and Paparoseman..Lance..and he told me Lance was there! Lance lives near me but I had never met him. He had invited me over to show me how he prunes his Autins! So I went down and introduced myself and he said he was there buying a rose for ME! I thought he was joking..but nope that's what he was there for! So I told him I wanted to be surprized and went to the car. He bought me a Glamis Castle. LANCE you are very sweet! I am going to go to a Heritage Rose meeting this month. First time! |

| Apparently Lance knows that the Pacific Northwest is an area where 'Glamis Castle' does well (I've been told that your area is the most 'British Isles-like of any place in the U.S.). In my garden GC couldn't be sprayed often enough to keep the BS at bay. |

| Glad to meet you in person finally. The original plan was to buy the rose and take it by your house. In the event that you were not home and I was not sure you would be I was going to place the rose near the house where it would be safe. Think of me as the rose fairy, a manly rose fairy anyway. I did pick up two roses for myself while I was there. Secrets Up and Ice Girl, a white Kordes ht. Lance |

| Lance -- 'Secrets Up' or 'Secret's Out!'? If the latter, you're going to be very pleased. It is, at any rate, a winner in my zone! If there is a 'Secrets Up', can't comment on it . . . |

Is that the white sport of 'Secret'?
If so, 'Secret' was the second-to-last HT remaining in our garden. A beautiful bloom on a handsome plant with no mildew problems.
I still recommend it highly for our area. Jeri |

| I am looking forward to a visit to Raft and Antique Rose Farm in Snohomish. And meeting everyone up there too. Soon, very soon. My rose garden is going to be really small until I get the hang of chainsawing trees - so what should I plant, you PNW'ers? I have small beds to work with on the northern and southern exposures against two sides of a a detached garage... ideas, anyone? |
RE: rose from Lance
| | |
| Oh, I just realized I changed this thread - so sorry, Zyperis. I haven't met Lance yet, but just from on-line conversations with him, your rose present from him doesn't surprise me a bit! I hope I will meet you at one of the heritage rose meetings in a couple of months or three. Gean |

| Lance is charming and what knowledge. Truly, I was quite stunned he bought me a gift! I am very touched. In 2008 I lost 3 friends, they passed away..and one was really into roses. We moved to Gig Harbor after my mother in law passed away. So I don't have any friends..here anyway. So it has been a lonely time..so meeting Lance and getting gift touched me very much. I love life and feel very blessed..but it has been a bit of a sad time for me..but life goes on! |

| Zyperis, I will be moving to Poulsbo, not too far north of you in a couple of weeks - you will have to come and visit my detached-garage-rose garden to be. I still know how to make Alabama sweet tea! |

| You are right, the name is Secrets Out. Of course this thread is also letting the secret out so the jig is up. That must be what I meant. Lance |
RE: Lance bought me a rose/paparoseman!
| | |
| Duch, that sounds wonderful! I know poulsbo quite well..charming community |
RE: Lance bought me a rose/paparoseman!

| Zyperis, I will email you when I get settled in and can find my pitcher and iced tea glasses- Enjoy your Glamis Castle... |

| "Think of me as the rose fairy, a manly rose fairy anyway. " No need to worry, Lance! If Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can play a tooth fairy in the movies and wear a tutu, I think y'all are safe!!! |

| Glamis Castle is a non-stop blooming machine for me in northern CA. Hope it does as well for you. Lance, I have some pics of Secret's Out on HMF. Neat sepals on that rose.
