| The roses are beautiful, of course, but my favorite is the photo of Ms. Carbonieri. She looks like she deserved to have a rose named after her. Thanks for posting it. Melissa |

| Those who want to fulfill their dreams must be more awake and dream deeper than others. Karl Foerster, plantsman and garden writer Photo from Britzer Park in Berlin with a garden dedicated to Karl Foerster and planted in his style. There is a wild rose to the right but I didn't recognize it. |

| "Dreams! Dreams! some may say [disparagingly]. If it were not for the dreamers, there would not be much accomplished in this world. Have a vision of the things you want to do, and then have the purpose of mind, the stability to stick at it and work it out and you will get results." --E.G. Hill, in American Rose Annual 1922, p. 129. |

| Capitaine Dyel de Graville is a dream of a rose, and Clementina the young lady with her sweet dog must have been a lovely reality. E.G. Hill's quote strikes a chord with me. I cannot and will not give up my dream of a beautiful garden with roses. I'm now down to 52 in number from a high of 93, and that is all to the good. I had envisioned a paradise garden until reality and a changing climate brought that dream crashing down. However, slowly I'm resurrecting the dream, albeit in a somewhat different form, and I will not lose sight of it again. Ingrid |

| Wow! Clementina is beautiful! And the roses are awfully nice-looking also. Thanks, |
|
| Indeed haunting! One of the most unusual pictures I've ever seen of SdlM, and one of the most beautiful. Superb photography, mauvegirl. Ingrid |

| What a beautiful woman Clementina Carbonieri was! My plant of this rose died this spring -- not sure why. I would like to try again, perhaps in a slightly different spot. Rogue Valley has been sold out for several months. Anyone know where else I could find it? Not sure, but I think my original plant came from Vintage. Rosefolly |

| Clementina Carbonieri (the rose) was a fleeting beauty here. Spectacular foliage and a beautiful, fast-growing shrub. The blooms were gorgeous, too --- as long as the temperature didn't go above 80 degrees or so. This even in a prime spot. Blooms looked good for maybe half an hour on a hot day -- I would recommend afternoon shade where it's both dry and hot, though I'm not sure even that would keep them from crisping in dry heat. |

| Hmm, maybe I won't bother then. I'm reshuffling the roses that grow near 'Rambling Rector'. I could use CC's spot for one of the roses in the reshuffling process, 'General Schablikine'. RR wants to get way, way bigger than the spot I allotted for it, and you know, I think I'd like clear out the nearby space to let it do just that! Underplanted with lots of tazetta tulips, what could be a more glorious spring vignette? Yes, dreams. Well titled. Rosefolly |
