Oh, how roses can stir our souls. Tuesday, April 7, 2015.

Oh, how roses can stir our souls. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Today I harvested a plump hip of (Don Juan X "Spice") and will extract and sow the seeds shortly. All the 4 inch pots of hybrids are now soaked, drained, each tucked into a clear produce bag and are back in a tray at the bottom of my fridge. Hopefully I'll see many germinations this fall. Monday, June 23, 2014. My hope is vigorous, Florida-friendly climbers, repeat bloom unlikely but would be nice! Tuesday, June 3, 2014. Monday, June 2, 2014.

ROSEGASMS: One of my earliest rose fragrance loves came from visiting Malcolm Manners' collection of the Musk (Rosa moschata) Roses in the early 90s....that cinnamon/clove perfume from the anthers (vs. the petals) is simply incredible. It is even found in

Oh, how roses can stir our souls. Wednesday, January 21, 2015.

Why would a breeder like me who relies primarily on my own controlled crosses get SO excited about people sending me open pollinated rose hips (ESPECIALLY those from Rosa moschata!

Oh, how roses can stir our souls. Friday, May 15, 2015. I've long heard from California rosarians about the incredible clove fragrance of this Mystery Climber.I've heard from Fred Boutin that it might be a chance seedling between a Floribunda and some form of Rosa moschata. Well I FINALLY got one from Roses Unlimited and it is now planted in my east driveway bed I am finishing up revamping. I can hardly wait to see and SMELL the blooms!

Oh, how roses can stir our souls. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Dang even an eighth cup of honey would make a LOT of this so I will try it. Friday, December 19, 2014. A few nights ago on The Magnificent Rose on FaceBook I saw a rose that also reminded me of "Fairmount Pink Celsiana".'St. Nicholas'. When I looked it up on HelpMeFind I saw that it was found as a chance seedling in 1950 vs. being actually "bred". Once I get into my OLD pics from Colorado I will take a good look.
