We once won "Most Fragrant" at an ARS PSW District Conventiuon with Souv. du Docteur Jamain. Beautiful thing.

Sadly, it had come to us with a "passenger" -- root gall -- so it never really grew well and was eventually removed. But I betcha it will be great for you.

Here's something to look forward to :)

The band I received was spindly so it will be a while before its the beauty in the photo. The 3 leaves are yellow. How can I nurse it? I did place it in a pot.

It's 72 degrees and sunny after 2 days of light to strong rain in Houston.
I have puddles and won't need to use the water hose for a looong time!!!

Mauvegirl. You will love using Neptune's Harvest..it will have your roses looking lush and green. The seaweed extract will also help your roses to cope with the heat of summer.I fertilize twice a year and use fish emulsion and seaweed extract in between feeding and on my rose bands.

Old garden book authors sang the praises of Souvenir du Dr. Jamain so highly I've wanted to try this beautiful rose for years. Lucky girl!

Neptune's Harvest's a winner here, too, great stuff, goes a long way.

Chilly rain let up this morning & it's sunny beautiful now in the mid-70's. Expected 60's tomorrow before the first snow flies that night & next day. Roller coaster change of weather not unusual through to Spring. On my way back out to cherish this gift of a day.

Meant to say that's one of my favorite things, too, mauvegirl, and made the connection with your thread's title. Had to tarry a moment longer to listen to the song...
