| One of my favorite garden bloggers, Professor Roush, has devoted one of his columns in Garden Musings to our very own Jeri Jennings. Check it out!

| Jeri has been one of the people that has really encouraged me about my roses through the years. I really appreciate her friendship and am glad Professor Roush wrote about her and the hybrid musk named for her. I've never met her; she is to me, like she is to many, encouraging and helpful. Thanks for pointing out the Prof's blog posting! Gean |

| Yes, she has encouraged me, too, and I owe a lot to her, with her knowledge and plain common sense. Thank you, Jeri! |

| So neat! I haven't been on the Rose forums long, but Jeri has already been an immense help. I only hope that I can be as knowledgeable as her someday. |

| Thank you for posting this, how embarrassing I have the Sustainable Rose Garden and did not make the connection....sorry |

Jeri has been a leader in rescuing and preserving old roses and in growing roses that work for you, rather than making you work for them. My life is tremendously richer for knowing her and her husband Clay, and being part of her rose circle in this forum and elsewhere. Anybody who comes to our Sacramento symposium in October should have a chance to meet them, or if you know them already, to get a chance to talk a bit.

| I don't know the person, but this rose has been on my "buy" list for a year or two - love hybrid musks, and it looks like a really great one. She has to be pretty cool to have inspired such a gorgeous rose. |

| Thanks, Kay for posting this; I recently got flagged here for a post of a blog that the webmasters interpreted as self-serving, I guess because I had some Google AdSense links on my blog; I've removed the stupid AdSense, but I'm being careful about linking my own blog unless I happen to have a blog on a pertinent rose under discussion. As far as Jeri Jennings goes, I'd like to meet that famous rosarian someday. |

What a lovely tribute to a very helpful rosarian---How wonderful to have such a nice rose named in your honor.
I always learn something from Jeri's comments. Florence |

| The first time I ever asked a question here, the answer from another poster was, "Just do whatever Jeri says." It's proven to be solid advice. Her knowledge, her sense of humor, and her enduring patience with the rest of us--who keep making the same blunders, over and over--is much appreciated. Kay |

| Y'all are more than kind. :-) I am VERY conscious of the honor and the kindness involved in the naming of that rose -- and I love the rose. Can you imagine how dreadful it would be, to be honored with a rose, and have it turn out to be a stinker? I am doubly fortunate because this one is a beauty, perfectly suited to my part of the world. Jeri |

Don't have the rose,so I can't say a thing about it, but the rosarian is a wonderful, logical, reasonable, and fair advisor. I think that Jeri, the person, is a tribute to Jeri, the rose.

| One of my favorite roses and forum members. Prof, Let me see if I have this right. Gardenweb, with it's pop-up, drop down, and hyperlinked text ads had a problem with your blog having a couple simple ads on it? Seems like something about a pot and a kettle should be said. |

| Oh well, I'd been thinking of removing them anyway...I think they've made about $2 in clicks in 2 years. The pure sleaziness of having the ads was bothering me. |
