Now that's a picture I would prefer not seeing!!! ;^))

LOLOL!

Elizabeth

Now, now, we can't go back to that thread lol

Nope - it skipped here, just a little snow.

I'm a gonna get you for that!

Well, you must have sent some west as well. We're forecast to get freezing rain here today.

MargW

Nah - that's the one you are sending me for Friday

Good ! May it wear itself out on you and stay away from here, this has already turned into a winter that we will not forget.

Well, there are still 6 more weeks of winter. And the worst blizzard I remember was the April Fools one in the 90's. Ya, '78 was bad, but the AFD's one had ice. C

Then there's the one a few years ago when it got all warm and lovely and then we had an awful storm. I lost 7 out of 9 rose bushes that year, including one that had been here for 35 years.

So who sent this weather to ND????? 45mph winds last night (DS went in the ditch 3 miles from home--couldn't see the road), temp was -10 (and still very windy) this morning when we got up and is supposed to drop all day to -26 tonight *and* 30mph winds, which means -50 wind chills! Global warming????? HAH!

Way to go Joan!! On another aspect, what has happened to the drought in Georgia, and the Carolinas?

Roses are persnickety - it is the reason I only grow the glacous rose that I shared with you or rugosas!

I've never found them to be a problem, until that year. Haven't had good luck with them since then. But it didn't help that Cash thought he was doing me a favor by digging up the new ones I planted "here, mama, this smells like you. You must have dropped it!"

Elizabeth

Poor Cash and poor you

I'm just enough further north and much more exposed that roses aren't worth the trouble unless they are VERY hardy

I've been thinking that this year, that Al Gore is an old windbag. Tell him to come here and tell Halifax the globe is warming hah !

Have you ever tried the Canadian Explorer roses? They were bred specifically to be hardy and grew wonderfully for me windswept by the sea, all that salty air. They were as hardy as the rugosas but prettier to look at.

Let us know, and I'm sure Jim Cripwell and I will fly in for the express purpose of telling Al he's wrong.

Except that all the hot air I expel in explaining it to him, will probably cause global warming on its own!
