@@ruthwolf7697 thank you! I am using the app in my I phone, just using what music is provided on it.

wonderful!

thanks!

Thank you! I absolutely love Sharifa Asma's fragrance. I do Princess Charlene de Monaco as well! I have yet to smell the Poet's Wife.

@duanesroses I'm in a warm zone, but The Poet's Wife is exceptional. I grew it in a pot on my deck my first year. It didn't occur to me that I needed to protect it when we got in negative temps around Christmas 😉 It died completely back, I planted it in my new garden last spring, and it flourished! It's one of my favorites. It does well even in the worst of summer

Certainly a necessary step! Have you grown Summer Romance? I've heard it isn't very winter hardy, unfrotunately.

@@duanesroses it's only been here one winter. The Temps dropped like a rock last Christmas then came back up to normal the rest of winter. I think it was minus 3 was the coldest temp. SR is about 3 feet on the tallest cane. She just sat in the ground last year. No disease but only about 3 flowers. This year she woke up a bit and had 2 bloom flushes with some scattered. I'm hoping 2024 will be her year! But NO die back Duane. In the open with west wind, no mulch. You know I practice tough love on my roses except for a very FEW! If you don't like it rose, here let me shovel prune you!!!! I'm impatiently waiting on your releases!!! Pretty some Del is just going to make a trip to Washington with a spade and take some "samples"!!!! He is sick of seeing Gertrude Jykell covered in black spot from June to frost! He hates black spot more than me! I will replace most of our Austin's with your "Arctic Love" roses! They can take temperatures colder than a mother in laws heart and fill a garden with fragrance...you can use that on a Billboard...I won't charge a fee...so as you release..a pink ill replace an Austin pink...a yellow I'll replace an Austin yellow and so on..I may keep 3 or 4..I love red Austin's and they don't seem so disease prone...sorry for long message..but SR is fine as far as I can tell on hardiness but shy for me on blooms...but I've seen people here and in Europe with a bush loaded with bloom. I'm going to water more next year. We are still in a mild drought 2 years running...have a great New Year and give Buck some ear scratches for me!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

@@duanesroses you might ask cathedral the rose..aka Will.....and Cristina...I'm sure both follow you..Cristina is in Penn so just a state away. Will is in Idaho so closer to you. Cathedraloftherose has a RU-vid and may have Summer Romance in it.

excellent!@@country_boy_zone6b

Thanks!@@country_boy_zone6b

Thank you! Hopefully it will be available on line through highcountryroses in the future, but they will probably need to test it for themselves first. I have rooted cuttings to ship several places for testing. If I have any extras I might make them available. This would be a rooted cutting, so very young and small, needing time to establish in the garden. You can find information on it if you look it up on helpmefind.com in a rose search.

Thank you!

That is too bad! They all need crossed with zone 3 roses to increase their hardiness. I am in that process, but it is surely a tedious and slow one.

Sweet Love and Love's Light both made it through a really cold zone 4 winter last year, but they had snow protection. Do you have any snow for protection? Or add protection to your roses?
