I thought I'd chime in with another Home Depot endorsement. Michigan Bulb shuttered their website, but the Rainbow of Roses: 5 roses - pink, yellow, red, purple and bi-color - is still being offered through Home Depot for $52.15.

I love a grab bag, so I purchased these last year. They were all Weeks Roses - Miss Manners, Quest for Zest, Firefighter, Cosmic Cloud and Ketchup & Mustard. All healthy specimens that have done well for me.

Yep. Shipping by UPS to my door, included.

Thanks for the heads up Moses. I concur about the fear of falling. I work on balance daily.

All my Bliss from the Home Depot have done great. I would def love some of those Savannahs. Thank you Moses!

Certainly a steal, Daniela. Glad to know your Blisses are doing well.

Moses.

“All my Bliss from the Home Depot have done great. I would def love some of those Savannahs. Thank you Moses!”

I’ve run into elena’s friend a few times recently

AI OverviewThe plural of bliss is blisses. While bliss is primarily used as an uncountable noun referring to a state of supreme happiness, blisses can be used to refer to different types or instances of such joy.

Moses am I remembering correctly that you were a professor of English?

Dianela, (correction made 10:42PM, 2-14-26)

I've been misspelling your name, 'Dan"i"ela,' and it appears that I have been doing so for a long time. Not only have I been misspelling your name, but I have been silently mispronouncing it in my head, adding the middle, 'i,' that doesn't belong, and omitting the first, 'i,' entirely. I am very sorry for my carelessness. Please accept my sincere apology.

I have a friend whose daughter is a Daniela, spelled and pronounced with a middle 'i,' only, which fact had an influence on my mistake.

Moses.

No, Rifis. I am an Annihilator of English, not a professor of it! I cheerfully and with great gusto, have made great headway in achieving my destructive goal of it, and do so daily, but usually rest on Sunday.

Moses.

“Danela,

I've been misspelling your name, 'Dan"i"ela,' and it appears that I have been doing so for a long time.”

Dianela, I remember a long time ago when we discussed your name. I knew a Brazilian girl with the name Dianela, and her family pronounced her name, Dan-yella. However, their first language was Portuguese. Tell us, once and for all, how you pronounce your name, please. And thanks for being so understanding. Diane

No need to apologize Moses. I can barely type on this website without the autocorrect cutting, changing or putting multiple words together like ”togeth togethertogetherness togeth together “. I count it a success when I manage to write a half intelligible post. Daniela is very similar to Dianela and many have called me that since childhood, I do not get offended so easily. Your english also looks wonderful to me. I did not learn a single word of english until high-school so if you have ever made a mistake I certainly havent noticed.

Hi Diane! My mom actually chose that name after reading some Brazilian novella so the name must be more comoon there. We pronounce it Dee-anela. Many of my friends just call me Dee.

Thanks, Dianela, for putting up with all this hoo ha. The way your family pronounces your name would be how I would say it in Spanish, so the Portuguese way is a wee bit different. I don't have all that hassle with autocorrect, but I use a desk top, the geezer way. Is this a phone app that does all the weirdness with the word togetherness? That is horrible. And I think referring to the rose Bliss in the plural as Blisses is not necessary at all. When I try to do something like that with a rose's name, I get the red underlining for wrong usage. You can't win. Diane

Thank you Diane! The weird autoautocorrect <—-started on this site while using my last iphone and Ipad. At some point I even factory resetedresetes <——-my ipad and bought a new phone with no change. I tried the app but it didnt seem to allow edits so even worse. I saw Vapor was having similar issues before, I wonder if it still happens to her too. Maybe I will start using a desktop.

Dianela,

I have Vapor's gremlin affliction, possibly X10! It is particularly frustrating when entire lengthy paragraphs are duplicated. What a chore it is to erase the dups, and run the gauntlet of incorrect spell checks, too. Houzz is a cheap, budget site. There! I said it! Take revenge on me, gremlins. What worse thing can you do?

Moses.

Where do you type Moses? I wonder if a real keyboard or desktop is what makes the difference.

Dianela,

You may be onto something. I use tablets only, no: laptops, monitors with keyboards, etc., only small tablets. They're placed here and there throughout my home so that I have internet access almost everywhere I go inside. They are all touch screen keyboard type tablets. I've had this system in practice for many years now, and if I could figure back when I switched to tablets, it may have been then when the Houzz gremlins surfaced. However, I have no gremlin composing problem anywhere else except with Houzz.

Moses.

Same here, all touch screen writing and only this site with the issue. I will try a desktop and report back.

Maybe I missed it but I didnt see the Coral Reminiscent listed, just the pink. I would love another coral for a pot

Kristine,

When you go to Home Depot's online sales site, find the search box, and type in:

Reminiscent Coral rose.

Home Depot loads very slowly here, so it may for you, too.

The very first two roses that will appear after the page loads are a 2 gallon size, grown in Proven Winners pots, at $29.98, 5,000 in stock,; and a 1 gallon size, also grown in Proven Winners pots, at $40.90, 112 in stock. (Why one grower is selling a smaller rose for a higher price is strange to me.)

Both sources say that they are ready to ship rather promptly, with ordered roses listed to arrive within a week or so. For me, it's too soon to order, but it may be a good time for you.

Moses.

Moses - I had good luck last year with a Home Depot rose purchase. I ordered (2) 2-Gal. Pink Drift

Date Ordered: June 14, 2025

Order Total: $67.78 with discounts and tax – free delivery

Delivered Wed, June 18

They were packaged well – both had good buds but one was about a week ahead in flower – I tidied them up, kept them watered and out of direct sun for several days and planted them June 30, 2025. They replaced 2 Pink Drift that were lost to rose rosette - they did very well the rest of 2025. I used the same planting holes – we’ll see how they do in 2026. I don’t remember where they were shipped from or the grower. I'm sorry to hear about your balance.

Thank you Raymond. I walked a lot yesterday, cane in hand, and afterwards couldn't believe how well I did.

Sorry about your roses getting Rose Rosette disease. I've had it so I know the angst you went through. The virus hit only two roses here, a venerable Lady Ashe (climber), and one of my first Quietnesses, another pillar of my rose bed. That was three years ago, and no virus outbreaks have occurred since then, thank God.

Those are two really nice looking Pink Drifts. I hope they make great strides this year.

Have you tried Sweet Drift? It's flowers are very double, lots of petals....at the exhibition stage of opening, they can't be beat for beauty, a beauty rarely seen in 'utility,' roses.

Moses.

Moses - Yes, they are also very nice. Years ago, I ordered six ‘Pink’ Drift from a local landscaper and what was delivered was ‘Sweet’ Drift – I can’t complain. I think I have 3 or 4 left. Photo from Aug 12, 2025 -

You've got a nice combination of plants there in that bed, Raymond. Thanks for sharing your photo.

Moses.
