| Another rose that apparently propagated well -- so that there are 8 available -- is the ever-blooming climber, 'Mel's Heritage.' A Paul Barden Hybrid Wichurana, with Crepuscule as one parent, this is a really remarkable rose. If you're not familar with it, here are the blooms. In this case, I wish we had "smell-o-vision" -- because when this rose is in full bloom, you could close your eyes, and swear you were standing in an apple orchard -- so strong is the green apple fragrance. Even EYE couldn't miss this. Check it out on HelpMeFind, and look at these images.

| That is beautiful! |
|
| Yeah -- and you ought'a smell it! |
|
| Oh my! That last picture especially made me go into an "I want, I want" frenzy. I desperately want to smell it now. So beautiful. Ingrid |

| I can testify to the beauty and strong constitution of Mel's Heritage as it is doing very well in my difficult garden situation. Bright green shiny leaves with no disease and a long bloom cycle although it does not repeat for me. I recommend it. Diane |
|
| That's interesting, Diane. It repeats at the Heritage, and repeats here, as well. |

| Mine is just getting started but has gone from band this spring to 10 ft lax canes! A very vigorous rose. I have it in a hot spot. Very healthy here too! Susan |

| Give it more water, Diane. As long as I keep it continuously watered, as you would any rose you expect to continue pushing, it repeats its flowering here. I cut back on water and it stops. Hit it with the hose more and it reblooms. Kim |

| So beautiful! Thanks for the pics. I just ordered this from Rogue Valley Roses and am very excited to soon have it. -Chris |
|
| Mine, in fact, is setting buds for a new flush. Jeri |
|
| Thanks Kim. I already figured that might be the issue but am concerned about my water usage as it is. Will try to give it some more and see. Diane |

| If you are going and you need a nice climber get it! |
|
| Actuallly, I value a rose with enough common sense to stop blooming when it's too dry, and save itself to bloom again, when water comes. That's what the Chinas do, really, and lots of other plants. And at least in the forseeable future, you guys in NoCal will at least get winter rainfall. Jeri |
