As the rose is no longer for sale, not sure about the charity today? I'm enticed by rose names, but refused to buy one called Smell Me!!<br /><br />Stacy - blogging is making me more observant. I apply where I can, what I learn about feeding hummingbirds (the Salvia greggei, rather plants than sugar water feeders!) And I know those birds are always in our garden, so I'm trying to make sure that lunch is on their table. <br /><br />Firefly - NO ONE can accuse me of being a perfectionist in my garden ;~)Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-62872070700126320932011-11-23T12:05:14.672+02:002011-11-23T12:05:14.672+02:00Dainty Bess is one of my favourite roses too.
