| They are lovely and in perfect health. Also well packed. I ordered:
Weeping China Doll--been wanting this for a long time
Aussie Sixer
Krishna's Peach
Rainbow
Madame Charles
Amazone
As you can see, I'm trying to get some colors besides shades of pink in my garden. Anyone have any comments on these? |

| I can say I have Madame Charles and Weeping China Doll. Madame Charles can be pinkish or peachish depending on the weather. I am very fond of this rose. I've had Weeping China Doll for years, a cutting I took from a garden I used to work in. You might have to be a bit patient with it. It think it is a very nice rose properly situated. |

| Thanks for the info, mendocino. I'm hoping for the peachier color in Madam Charles. I'm hoping w. China doll likes it here. |

| Last week I went to a sale at Otto, they had a weeping china doll standard, I soooooo want to go back and pick it up! |
RE: Order from RU just arrived

| Oh, you should! I have seen it in pictures as a standard, but never in person. Was it in bloom? Mine arrived with three gorgeous blooms on it. |

| My Madame Charles was definitely on the peachy side, a very pretty rose with good rebloom. I think you'll like it. My Amazone is very young and some sort of rodent is pruning it but the flowers I've gotten so far are very nice. Ingrid |

| Thanks for the input, Ingrid. I'm looking forward to both of those. Currently, no rodent problems here. I used to have squirrel problems, but I got a dog that ran them all off. We lost her to cancer last year, but the squirrels haven't figured it out yet. |

| Weeping China Doll is very important in my garden, right up by my little bistro table section even though she's not fragrant. She's thornless and constantly in bloom and has a great bright pink color (usually) and the prettiest weepiness :D Her little flowers are especially pretty close-up. The constant color is useful anywhere, though. |

| Meredith, do you let yours sprawl, or is it trained in a standard? Mine on arrival had three beautiful blooms and the canes are already weeping. I'm realty excited to have this one, but I don't know how she'll do in steamy Fl. |
RE: Order from RU just arrived

| I let mine sprawl! I wanted a weepy, sprawly plant where I have her. She kind of tumbles onto one corner of the bistro patio, which I love :D She gets some BS here in the spring, but I don't even spray her because that's over with quickly. She's in a very dry (crispy-dry!) part of my garden, so all I have to worry about is lots of water for her. I have lavender and rosemary planted by her, if that tells you anything. |

| That sounds lovely. I might have to put mine near my porch so I can enjoy it every day. In this heat, I don't walk my roses every day like I do when it's not quite so miserable. |

| Mmm...I just got Weeping China Doll from there too :) It came out of the box blooming; I couldn't be happier! Tammy |

| Mine was blooming, too, Tammy. Did you get anything else from RU? I should have ordered more, but it was the last day of the sale, and I didn't have time to pick anything else out. |

| Yes, I also got these (I had to resist the urge to order more, but I know Heirloom's half price sale is coming up soon) Antique Artistry
Whiskey Mac
Emp du Maroc
Mlle Franziska Kruger (this was to replace the one I lost to the moles over winter)
Grimaldi I haven't gotten any of them in the ground except for Weeping China Doll with the lack of rain lately, so they've been added to the pot ghetto! :) Tammy |

My order, too, was to add more color. Happily in my pot ghetto:
South Africa
Sunshine Daydream
Cubana
Easter Basket
Rita Levi Montalcini
I'm disappointed that the peachy tones of Cubana quickly give way to pink in our heat, but it is a bloom machine even as a pot baby! |
RE: Order from RU just arrived

| I got Rita LM, too! I'm excited about her because of her colors. I also got Curly Pink and Jasmina. I love, love, love RU! |
RE: Order from RU just arrived
| | |
| Oh, I'll have to look all these up, especially Rita. |
