Pagan, I try to check helpmefind with roses I don't know, but I couldn't find Reuben on that website or on the Ashdown library site. So, congratulations on its blooming for you! But can you tell me more about it? It must be a new rose release? Annie

Rubens? Is that it? I have Rubens.

If it's the one you're referring to, it's DDG in the SCCHRG, and I had to have it.

MAT

OK, I'll go with Rubens! Whoever the critter is, he looks great!

Will go check on who I got him from and who he be... yup, tis Rubens, from the Antique Rose Emporium! Gorgeous guy, whoever he is!

Now that is a gorgeous rose. And a tea, also, even better. Learned something again, thanks for posting. When it blooms again, please post a picture! Annie

*it's DDG in the SCCHRG*

Huh? I'm a little dim. Please explain.
Thanks.

sherry - DDG I think I got - doing durn good??!! And from the location of MAT, I would hazard SCCHRG to be Southern California College of Horticulture Rose Garden, but that would be pretty boring... maybe we can think of new SCCHRG's???

Sinfully Colorful California Harlots Rose Garden??

Sorta Crosseyed Cows Having Relaxed Gabfest??

your turn...

My guess is DDG stands for Drop Dead Gorgeous.

and maybe SCCHRG is Sacramento Cemetery Heritage Rose Garden. Ok, so there is an extra C in the achronym and I'm totally guessing... but what the hey? All of those things are in California. ;)

Pagan, I like your Crosseyed Cows guess best! LOL
