clara, I've been waiting for months for the expressions of
animosity to cease. Does this mean that you are done with
your attacks? Anyone who thought, or hoped, that those actions
would chase me out of here was simply wrong. It hasn't worked,
and it won't work.
And when celeste's current behavior fits a pattern she once
very publically objected to, perhaps she should look inside.
It's not rehashing for someone to respond to her present
actions, as Alice did.
Yes the trashing of people truly needs to stop. That means
everyone going halfway. How about it?
Regina
>Regina, do a deja... I stated several days ago how I was going to
>proceed. Are you ready to stop your attacks now?
I recall your statement clearly, and I have noted that your subsequent
actions have borne it out. You and I start from here, as far as
I am concerned.
take care,
Regina
>Are you ready to stop your attacks now?
btw, I *genuinely* thought the bubbles thing was cute. There
was no sarcasm meant. If you took it that way, I sowwy. True
story.
Regina
Wow. You are particularly sickening when you're being ingratiating. Yes,
that's right, I'm talking to *you.*
Clara, if you take an extra shower in really hot water you might be able
to get it all off of you.
And which Unpleasantness would this be?
The Late, the Present, or future?
Regina

Well, my fellow Net-Richards:
I have read all the recent posts and its getting ridiculous, yep, including
mine.( I am quilty ) I am only a hose-rian and I am illiterate. But may I
suggest cease fire from all sides? All these dicking around will get nowhere. I
wish I have BCD's wisdom to write something convinsing and more sophisticately.
But I can't, my dictionary only has 5 pages. So, may BCD and Henry's spirits
with me, let's all drop the nonsense? Please?
Richard 2X2
I am not a dick.
Wow. Of all your delusions, this one is the most outlandish. You
actually imagine that anyone gives a damn what you do. Oh, that's right,
I think Mack does. But otherwise, I don't think so. The damage you have
wrought on this newsgroup beginning with your insane and completely
fictitious campaign against me last spring really is unforgivable, but
you are not nearly as interesting as you imagine. I feel sad for you.
For the first time.
>Clara, if you take an extra shower in really hot water you might be able

CELESTE! My friend, Bridget, had a bunch of us girls over last night for a
Christmas cookie baking slumber party... (Three hundred and seventy-seven
chocolate rum balls later) I can't tell whether the godawful headache I have
this morning is from (1) the cookies, (2) the wine, (3) the cigarettes...
whatever... at some point during The Whole Thing, we started drooling over rose
catalogs.. I did take a shower this morning <g> but I also had the Genius Idea

I had Joseph's Coat once. It did not climb for me and only staying at 3 feet
tall. Its blossom gets as small as a silver dollar. Another climber, Pinata
come to mind, did the same. Granada did not do well either, neither did
climbing Rainbow's End. Perhaps our soil and weather pattern contributed the
failure? Besides, the above four cultivars all have same sort of interests in
their change of coloring of flower petals
BTW, I met Paula and her daughter Friday. We spent 4 hours together. She is
such a great lady. I enjoyed her visit very much. She said she noticed some
roses in the Temple of Heaven while visiting Beijing. She believes those were
Queen Elizabeth. I totally missed them while I was there. Usually I am a very
sharp observer when it come to notice a rose.......

You know, I have heard that a really good orange rose is Trumpeter
have you ever seen this one?
.....But seriously folks......and as you know seriousness is verrrry
important to me....orange roses is an extremely serious topic you
know.
Octoberfest and Prominent are on my definite list for sure. Everybody
seems to say these are good ones.
I seem to remember Petrose saying Star 2000 was good.
I wrote a little note to myself that I found floating on my desk about
Desert Peace, Westfalen, Remembrance and Cary Grant. They are all
supposed to be Orange.
But after all of the Orange rose threads of about 2 months ago, I
forgot to really get down and make a good list.
So, what are other good orange varieties you are considering?
Anyone?
Please?
(thank you)

No joke really, I am highly speaking the beauty of Whisky Mac.....The color of
lightest orange color, like the inside of an orange not the skin. And the
fragrance of a fresh cut orange, no less. Tantau could have named it "Orange
Magic" or "Heavanly Orange" or something like that. Man, that dude liked
whiskey too much, often losted his record while hybridizing. So he went"

A few is too many. One might even be too many.
I always get teased for spiking my Perrier- Jouet with Chambord. We had their

*** like a perfectly good champagne with some funny tasting other stuff in it?
<g> Have you had Kir royales (champagne with a few drops of chambord in it)?
Makes a sort of rosy color. Too much chambord, though, and it tastes like cough
syrup. Don't use a really fine champagne for this -- we use Cook's (can't drink
that stuff straight without grimacing, so the chambord helps it...)

I prefer creme de cassis-- current liqueur, the kind in a regular Kir,
usually made with white wine, but I like it in champagne. It's a great

Yes, I am.
Everyone else is playing nice, Celeste. Probably just a generational
thing. I've always admired those who are unfailingly polite and kind, you
know the type: the tougher it gets, the cooler they get. Like the chief
programers who post on the computer groups and start their posts with,
"Golly, Dave, did you think about so and so..." or "Um, Mary, that really
isn't how it works."
So I'll never appreciate bite-their-head-off posting on line. I perceive
more than a slight risk that you're alienating those among us who might be
retired (or current) folk accustomed to being addressed respect, say those
of military rank, retired judges, or other other human beings. Not that
any of us has to take anything too seriously. In the end, probably just a
case of inconsistent skill sets.
I'm interested in hearing from rosarians who have been at it many years,
who drop more substance in their offhand comments than I've read in my six
source books. Some give it out straight and tough, some give it out with a
decoder missing the password. I just was rgr to be focused, friendly, and
funny enough for that to happen.

*** hahaha the artist Van Gogh did paint roses! When he was convalescing at an
asylum in Saint-Remy, Van Gogh painted some of the roses that were growing in
the garden there. One of the paintings is called "Still Life with Roses" and it
was painted in 1890. Some of the roses growing there are 'Old Blush' and
'Complicata'. BTW, the garden is still there, but it's not open to the public.

*** yes! http://www.vangoghgallery.com/ this site contains all the paintings of
Van Gogh (something like 2100). They're arranged alphabetically... you'll find
some under "R" for "Roses", but the painting that I had in mind is under "S" for
Still Life: Roses in Bowl" (something like that). BTW, it says on the site,
there's a poster of this painting available through http://www.barewalls.com (if
you're thinking about a potential xmas gift...)
Well, there you go! No charge for making that dream come true. I did not
mean this post the way it sounds, by the way. I just get very *fragile*
around Christmas time, you know? Easily traumatized, you might say. hey,
it finally got cold enough to shrivel the bloomin' roses, Mack. Maybe
that's what set me off.
You're being really, really eerie scary, here. Suzanne and Dazzlebutt
know why, but they won't tell. I don't think.

Princess Velvet and Springbok know what?

in the UK this rose is known as Velvetcakes. Springbok will point us to
the video. She's a pretty good tour guide, you know--what I think she should do
is buy Paula's business and hire Princess Velvetcakes, get her out of the
gutter. One of these days I'll figure out what you can do with your life too.

Let me be the first to know.
Now, you see Guido, I wasn't going to say anything, since I didn't want
to "rub your nose in it," you know? ;)
