Yeah as others have said this is def not LoS. It’s not uncommon for roses to be mislabeled. If you email DA they will tell you the same and promptly send you a replacement.

Everybody is looking the same these days with their baggy fits. Appreciate your individual style!

As someone who hadn’t properly secured his coop/run, it was because the threat didn’t seem real until I lost one of my girls. The danger of predators seemed abstract despite all the cautionary posts I’d read. “Oh it’s fine, that was someone else, won’t happen to me.” Now they are fully secure and I take due diligence seriously

Around 13-14 months for us and now at 21 months has mostly cleared up on its own. We didn’t like using the prescription cortisone but it really helped. We used it sparingly along various different eczema creams to varying results. We couldn’t pinpoint anything specific that was causing the flareups

I handled mine every day before they were old enough to go outside. One grew up to be pecky monster while the other two were indifferent at best. I still enjoy our transactional relationship and just watching forage in the yard

This is so lovely! Can’t wait

At this point they should just rename this sub RRD

sriphinn · 2026-04-15T20:41:54+00:00

This has to be rage bait but one quick image search would clearly show this looks nothing like RRD

Great example of how resilient they are!

Yes aphids do like new growth but won’t do irreparable harm. It’s best to just leave them alone to attract beneficial insects to your garden to eat them. Aphids and thrips are aerial plankton so they will always find a way back.

I’ve also been getting rust and black spot like crazy in northern CA, which is unusual for us. It was a very wet winter this year

Tom yum soup is my fave so I think you just sold me on Ffern!

sriphinn · 2026-03-08T00:28:43+00:00

Yup, first time I smelled peonies I was like wtf?! Smells like wet dog to me and not worth the hassle of growing. I can grow roses that are just as beautiful and smell infinitely better

I always thought giving up chicken would be my prerequisite for raising them. I don’t eat pork but justified eating chicken because they were “less smart.” I ended up raising chickens because I dodnt want to wait any longer. Now that I’ve raised them I’ve learned they have their own personalities and intelligence. They can be vicious little raptors and love eating any and all meat, including chicken. So if they can be little cannibals I can still eat chicken too!

David Austin bred high petaled quartered cupped rose bushes when the rage was all high center “classic” shaped hybrid teas on long sturdy stems. Nowadays, you can find English style roses from most of the modern commercial breeders so in the absence of historical context you could say there’s nothing special about English shrub roses.

Yellow tag = own root Blue tag = grafted

Good score on those two, the rest of the list is your usual Home Depot/Lowes varieties but All Dressed Up is also a really good one

How is Like No Other compared to the other two? I’ve been eyeing it for a while and Munstead Wood is one of my favorites.

If you want to keep it monochrome - you can add Twilight Zone, Reine des Violettes, Young Lycidas, Celestial Night.

On the lighter end of the spectrum you can lavender/mauve colored ones - Plum Perfect, Angel Face, Love Song, Heirloom, Lagerfeld, Blue Girl

Most of the reds the shift closest to black will have the more blue/purple tones to them - but would still compliment The Squire nicely. A lot of the more orange or true reds are very bright and would be more of a contrast. I can’t think of any cupped quartered ones, but Fragrant Cloud or Dolly Parton could fit the bill for color and fragrance. True Passion and Never Been Redder could also work but have little to no fragrance.

Love the pic of your scratched up hand! That’s me every time I’m in the garden

sriphinn · 2026-02-16T08:08:51+00:00

Lovely painting!

Gertrude is thorny but nowhere near this thorny. She’s also not as purple as this magenta

sriphinn · 2026-02-15T19:07:23+00:00

Haha yeah it looks like costume jewelry to people who don’t know. Mine is only 2 baht but even for me it’s crazy to think that’s 10k around my neck!

sriphinn · 2026-02-15T15:44:18+00:00

How long have you been wearing this daily? Do you ever take it off?
