| I spent some time earlier today taking pictures of "Jesse Hildreth," which is just now beginning to put up "cuttable" stems. I LOVE this rose. And joyously, I heard today from Jill Perry that there are seven little plants nicely rooted from the cuttings taken in spring. I only wish they had 20 of them . . . But then, maybe not everyone wants a creamy Tea Rose with a fruity fragrance and disease-free foliage . . . ;-)

| Oh fun My order for Westside Road Cream Tea was cancelled, they did not have any after all, guess that means I need a different pale Tea |

| Kippy, I know this would be good for you because it's good for me. :-) Jeri |

| Just lovely, Jeri! I can't make it to the San Jose event soon, but I would absolutely try to grab a plant of Jesse Hildreth if I could. Kippy, they do now appear to have Mlle. de Sombreuil in stock if you don't already have that one. I hear very good things about it. Devoniensis is also available, but it seems either slow to grow or hard to fit because of how large it could end up. Jay |

| Jay, if they tried to email me to swap out plants, I missed it. Auto fill used an old email address which I noticed the next morning and emailed them about. There were quite a few I could have substituted but they refunded instead. So I guess that means I will have to wait and reorder .... With a few others of course But since I found out at the same time as Jeri posted, I will take it as a sign :) |

| I think that sounds reasonable. 'Mlle. de Sombreuil' (assuming it's the Tea, and not the climber) is another rose that is good in a coastal SoCal climate. I found it to be disease-free and a good bloomer -- and the blooms opened well here (which not all pale roses do). So, there is a place for both of them in mild-climate gardens. Right now, though, I would like to see all 7 of the available plants in the hands of people who will know them for the rare treasures they are. And who may, eventually, share them forward. Jeri |

| Kippy, if you can't get your hands on the beautiful Jesse, Mlle. de Sombreuil has been a miracle plant in my garden. It grew more quickly and vigorously than any band I've ever had, and has been endlessly putting out buds and flowers from day one. I pinched off the first flush but after that just gave up and let them bloom. No disease, just one flush of flowers after another, no matter what the temperature. Ingrid |
