| This is 'Aennchen von Tharau' on its way to Hartwood roses; saying my final goodbyes before it goes off to a better home. The "band" I received very quickly turned into a respectable sized plant. I didn't expect it to grow like a weed but apparently it enjoyed its stay. 'Aennchen Von Tharau' is one of Geschwind's cultivars and will be joining the other Geschwind productions at Hartwood. A big thanks to Connie for adopting the plant! Josh Note: the original plan was to hand the plant over to High Country Roses but this plan fell through. |

| Josh, what a great idea; Connie knows what she's doing with ramblers, and this will turn into a beautiful rose. I'm excited and pleased that you're planning to meet her next spring. |

| Josh, what a thoughtful and intelligent thing to do. I must say, though, that I would embrace any rose that grew like a weed in my garden, if ever I were to meet one. The rule here is that the more desirable the rose the longer it takes to grow, leaving aside the ones that take one look at their inhospitable surroundings and choose a swift/lingering death as the preferable alternative. I just remembered the one exception, E. Veyrat Hermanos, a rose that many people admire, which failed to move me, and soon was much too large for its spot. It naturally grew in leaps and bounds. I now remember another, Grandmother's Hat, which I did love, but the blooms crisped and deteriorated within five seconds of opening. I do apologize for the digression and the trip down memory lane.

| What a beautiful plant, Josh. Thank you SO much for thinking of me. I imagine it will be here tomorrow ... I'll let you know. |

| Ingrid, Watching it chug along happily did make it difficult to see it go, but I could not guarantee it would not decline here being a once-bloomer. I figured that Connie's climate would be more fitting, and I could try with another band once propagated. Connie, It really is a great plant! It was big when it arrived, but is huge now. I look forward to hearing how it arrives. This is my first time shipping roses so I may have been over zealous in packaging it. Josh |
