Hi all, now everyone is thinking of this years rose orders. In one of my increasingly rare spare moments I was inspired by the beauty of Tipsy Imperial Concubine, and figured I'd better pull my finger out and figure out how to upload...I've posted a piccie on the Gallery. I accidentally bought two last season and am glad I did. Very nice indeed.

Oh! I love this rose so much! I did't know one could get it in Oz! Racing over to Gallery now to sigh over your pic, Snodge. MUST get this one. My 2005 list is now a total wreck-o-rama.

Good grief

I'm obviously too giddy to find the pic. You'd think I was looking for a lost child in a department store. What did you call your shot?

Hi Snodge

Glad to hear from you again. Missed your sensible comments for a few weeks. TIC is gorgeous - I saw it at a rose garden last week but will also try and find your gallery.

Snodge! Had given you up for dead-to-the-world-due-to-house-building. How is the building going? Is your garden surviving the workmen? Welcome back.

House building still in planning phase, but SOOOOO many fundamental decisions beyond the size shape of the house - and that's challenging enough. Work keeping me very busy too, and to cap it off I'm doing a tertiary course for work as well, Just one subject, which fortunately work has got UNSW to run the classes during working hours close by the office. I pop in to the forum for a very brief lurk occassionally..but you know me once I start writing, so hard to stop.....:o)

Garden has been getting a bit more neglected than usual lately, though now the weather has cooled a bit, I'm trying to put in the time to dead head and throw a *little* water around on a hose day once in a while. Lovely flush of roses just now, and hence the piccies of TIC.

I'm a bit worried about the garden actually with the house and all, with the new Basix requirements they include your garden in the calculation, with a big push for drought tolerant stuff specially natives...I think roses are remarkably drought tolerant, but somehow I doubt the department of planning agrees.....anyhow, we have such a large garden that will count against us as well....at least the other half of the yard is natives...

Oh, I should probably say, the lengthy planning period is a relief gardenwise. It's looking like the house will interfere with my favourite rose bed afterall (we were hoping to avoid it)- mostly teas, and my wonderful mislabel, not to mention daylilies, irises and such....so I'm pleased I should have the cooler months while plans go through council and my other half settles into a new job, to shift precious stuff out of the way.
