Plumeria Girl - You really would love this one. So fragrant. If you can get it, you should grab it because I think it is discontinued, but I could be wrong.

Will Uba-Tuba go well with crimson color carbinets, light hardwood floor and Brandon Beige paint walls??
Q

Interesting, your picture looks more like what we would call green butterfly here. Uba Tuba here does not have any white in it (unless what is showing up as white is the light bluish/green that is found in uba tuba. I personally don't think I would use the two together. For the crimson, I think the New Caledonia would look better. Would your builder allow you to shop on your own and pay the difference to upgrade to other stone choices? If so, it would be nice to do so.

First of all, storm doors do cut down on heating and cooling costs, and they can be a safety feature as you can keep a storm door locked and then open the inside door just slightly to see who is at your door and then close and lock it quickly if need be. It is possible to get a storm door that looks formal enough for the front door. That being said, I would suggest you paint the brick and all the trim of the house white. This will go a long way in brightening up the grey-beige of what appears to be limestone. When the time comes to replace the roof, I would suggest you choose a white or off-white metal roof to add brightness to the exterior color scheme. If you do not care for these neutrals, then add a metal roof in a light blue or light green that harmonizes with the limestone shades. Then, I would suggest you add shutters in the same color as the roof. White-painted window boxes that hold colorful flowers will enhance the appearance of the home too.

No Idea where to start w/ Living Room - my 1st house

Congratulations, your home is lovely! Let your personality shine in your home. Do you have a hobby, favorite color, a mood you want to project, etc? I agree with @soosun2, don't go with all boring neutrals. Start with the basics, the larger furniture pieces and some lighting. Slowly add other pieces that you love. You're lucky to be starting from scratch instead of trying to fit furniture in that used to fit somewhere else. Keep a photo album of your rooms that you can access on your phone, including the floor plans. (You can add these photos to an ideabook and use the houzz app on your phone.) I have a small case that holds paint chips and fabric swatches and everything else I can think of for my house, and it was with me 24/7 for about my first year here. That made it easier when I was out and about, and came upon something that was "perfect". Sometimes it's hard to remember what you've already purchased! If you have a hard time coming up with a color scheme, look at something you really like that has multiple colors in it. It could be a painting, or some wallpaper, or a piece of fabric. Anything, really. You don't have to USE the thing in your house, but pull your color palate from it.

Your pictures of this rose are beautiful. I had one, but it came down with rose rosette, and I had to get rid of it. The flowers on yours appear to open okay. Mine did not want to open very well, but it sure was fragrant. Thanks for the look.

Ordered it this morning, Suebelle. It's one of the oldie but goodies on Palatine's list. Thank you so much for re-introducing this rose to me. I wanted it years ago when it was still easily found, but kept getting pushed further down the list in favor of newer roses. It's every bit as beautiful as any new rose and it's hardy to z4!

<SIGH> Years ago, I ordered this from HOGR. They were out of it, so they substituted 'Westfalenpark'

... which is how I learned NEVER to let them substitute.

But I've always thought it was lovely.

Jeri, that's quite a stretch for a substitute for St. Cecilia! I wouldn't have been happy about that either. Austins do great here, but Kordes are a gamble.

You know, it really isn't a shame the technical geniuses haven't figured out a way to send scents through the interwebs. As lovely as St Cecilia is, it's her fragrance I remember most. Such a unique, lovely perfume. I also really admired the prickles along her canes. They reminded me of Gallicas or other much older roses.

Ya, Flowersaremusic -- By the time this happened, we'd already learned that this was definitely NOT the right environment for Kordes roses . . .
We planted it anyhow, but of course, it was awful here, and was eventually removed.

I guess it was just another Lesson Learned.

Here is an image of this gorgeous rose from a colder climate than California. My plant was most often a very lovely soft buff colour with a bit of a pink hue. And yes, the fragrance is one of the loveliest in rosedom.

Cheers, Rick

St Cecelia is a nice shaped plant too. Beautiful pink puffs with delicate petals. Katherine Morley is like that too but the plant is huge and super thorny. In my warm climate she's pale pink but cold weather brings out yellows and peaches. I think it's an easy rose to grow.
