I don't see her on other forms. I just figured she was studying and didn't like when who's printed her info. I would love to see how her garden has progressed.

Not all all. Cori Ann is only on Houzz. I miss her too. I know she is doing her studies but I figured she might drop by Spring break or something . I hope she does soon. The other person I miss is Carol from Portland, Oregon.
jin

I bet she'll be great with her patients. She's very inspirational.

I had been thinking the same thing myself.... I imagine her garden must be reaching full bloom right now, I think it's that time of year..

I ran across her name last night when I was doing a search, and it reminded me how much I miss her too. Her garden is amazing, and she is definitely an inspiration!

She was trying to get in PhD program for physical therapy for the past a few years. She would be competing with the kids in the 20’s (her daughter’s age), Not sure if she was starting with college or just trying to get in a PhD program. There are 3+3 year programs in colleges for physical therapy PhD. One of my friends kid is almost done with hers. Hopefully she could check in here and let us know. I give her a lot of credit for going through college with her daughter! Go college mom!

We are also missing Carol rose Canadian. Her lovely daughter got in Medical school last year! There are only 17 medical schools in Canada (13 English speaking, 4 French speaking medical schools). She must be busy getting her daughter ready to start medical school this year.

Summers, Carol is on the other Rose Forum, which I’ve been on recently, but I still miss her on here. I love her enthusiasm.

Thanks Sara. That’s nice to know. Tell her we missed her here. :-)

If Cori Ann is posting on anything, I would think Instagram would be a good choice for her. Her energy level & enthusiasm is hurricane like, in a good way! Now the hard part is every one has different user names on different platforms.

Oh I hope she is able to post - maybe this summer. Her garden is beautiful!

I miss her too !!! She really was so so full of energy and gusto , and carol as well !! I read the other forum but don’t post . Beth posts there too!! It’s nice over there but I feel like I’d be butting in on convos somehow . Lol

LinkedIn might be another place to find out how she is doing.......

@lilyfinch - I don't think you could come across as imposing. If anything people would love you to share your experiences!

I don't even know the "other forum" you guys are talking about? What is it? I like the format of this one, I have had no trouble posting pics - but I only use my phone, so maybe that's why.

I also wonder about Virginia and Nick the Greek. I hope they are doing well.

This is the other forum. https://garden.org/forums/view/roses/

Thanks for the link! I will check it out.

Yes, we are also missing Virginia and Nick. Nick was sick last year, I hope the treatment went well with him.

.......and Michael G. Anyone knows what happened to him? He is very knowledgeable when comes rose gardening.

Michael G writes on the HMF forum a lot, yes he is very knowledgeable it seems to me,.. way above my head... Virginia turns up there too sometimes.. I've not seen Nik around for a while - wish him well -... and Cori Ann does have an Instagram page but there is no reference to roses or gardening, it's all about her physical therapy, stuff like that... I won't say what name she's under there because she was keen on privacy and I wouldn't want to compromise that, and as I say, it's not for her garden interests.. she doesn't appear to have been on there for nearly 2 years either...

I also miss her and the others mentioned here. One becomes attached, and enters into their life not only in regard to roses but other things too, and it's a loss when they leave. I don't think Carol from Portland has been on lately. I miss her sensitive and beautifully written posts. So many people have come and gone since I joined here in 2007, while I keep hanging on, hopefully not past my due date.

Ingrid you are definitely not past your due date!!!!

Sherry too.

I remember all those veggies Cori Ann was planting in with her roses. I was cutting the bottoms (with the little roots) off some green onions for dinner and thought, I should go plant them in the rose beds lol.

School can be stressful at any age especially health related careers because you have to do clinicals as well as class. Then you have the patients who don't make it, not to mention dealing with sometimes difficult patients, families, doctors, long hours, other staff, etc. Its not always rosy. I hope Cori Ann is still gardening, its such a good stress reliever!

If I googled it right, she is a fitness trainer and the owner of the fitness place. No wonder she has the high energy! We should all eat healthy and workout outside the rose garden! :-) I think she is in a 33 month ( 2.75 year) PhD program at a local nursing college. I am sure she will be back here after the program is completed. So everything is good with her, no worries. :-)

I was just thinking about Cori Ann recently too. As I get ready for a spring application of beneficial nematodes I wondered if she thought her attempts were successful. I have learned so much from this forum.

thanku for the update summersrhythm!!

It’s funny, CoriAnn hasn’t been on the forum since I’ve actively participating but I feel like I know her from all the time I spent lurking.

I wish everyone who left would come back and I hope when people post their frustrations with Houzz they don’t finally get fed up and leave too.

It‘s so fun and informative talking with other people who love plants as much as I do, I would hate to see a technology that enables people from all over the world to bond end up driving them away.

You’re welcome R. It’s easy to do a google search these days. There aren’t many Cori Ann in physical therapy field. :-) If I knew she was a fitness trainer earlier, I could ask her some workout tips. :-)

I don't think her place has been open for a while if I recall correctly. If we post on one of her old post she should see that unless she has changed her settings

Yes,I miss everyone too.

Cori Ann and Malorena inspired me to get some obelisks so I can cram more roses into my tiny garden.

Since Cori Ann was so generous with sharing her process of creating her rose garden, it makes me even more curios to see it as it matures! I hope she is doing well and enjoying her studies...and that her roses are blooming magnificently :)
