Google says and I remember when nudged that it is American Pillar. I just found this place that tells where you can get it very useful!

It is, by the way, one of the biggest of the house-eating roses: Moms jumped over the split-rail fence and devoured an old pick-up which had evolved into the place to store baling twin left over at the end of the hay season.

Well this is, without a doubt, the finest chicken coop (mansion) I have EVER seen. Dang, a whole new standard has been set.

Oh, heck, I know that one- Mom had it for years. It's either a Burbank (yep, that Burbank) or a Van Fleet wichuriana hybrid, and smells of cut apple when in bloom.

I'd get up and look for one of my reference books, but I just went down hard; one of my subterrainean enemies put a deep hole in the path and I fell on my arm with a disturbing crunch in the rib area: I can breath without hurting but not twist sideways or bend over much*. I need a bucket full of gravel in the hole but nobody will be around until tomorrow. to do that or get the last few bits on the hoop house taken care of; I'm going to go eat dinner and then try to cut two more 15" pieces of 1X4, four 45 degree facing cuts nine inches on the long side and an assortment of mitered pieces from one foot down to four inches, all in 1X2. If I can.

I took a good hard look at my mental processes and building supplies this morning and decided to go get supplied and wait until I felt smarter to build anything, and thenI was sabotaged by a stupid mole/vole/gopher/fieldmouse/assorted shrews/or other assistant of gravity and other aspects of fate.





*so of course this was the evening I had to drag all the feed and water stuff out of the Hamburg coop because they've found new and exciting ways to get dirt in.

Oh Thanks so much for your references!!!!!!!!

I know!
I told him when he stops at 101, go straight on Monhon Landing 1 1/2 miles & you will see the gate.
He finally showed up about 3 PM.

DH says no pick up eating rose bushes, we already have enough thorny black berries to deal with.

Man, it is slow today!!!!!!!!
Newbies will think it is always this slow & boring!!
Well my guy finally showed up, happy as could be..happy happy!!!

Had a beautiful black & white german Shorthair Pointer in his little nasty ready to blow up car.
he is about 7 feet tll of 60 year old swede.
Carb fishing cap on his head...an old fisherman.
He was very nice, DH says he is a goober..every other word is "by golly" and sooo polite.
He took the birds, caged all morning & of course dotted with poop, and put them in a box, and got poop on his Giant hands, and wiped it right on his jeans.
I asked if he wanted to wash...Nope, I am fine, and after some breif conversation, off he went.

he wants more chickens too.
He said a batch of 5 or 6 crows killed 3 of his chickens..he has put net up.
I asked if it were Ravens, I have never seen a crow kill chickens.
He said no, it was crows and his good dog scrared the crows off the chicken yard.
he has since installed netting over the run.
I have never heard of crows killing chickens!

Check the Heirloom Roses site especially the Landscape roses and groundcover roses; some of them will be very much what you're looking for, single and semi-doubles in smaller sizes: remember though that whatever you get will grow a lot bigger in the lowlands of Pacific County than the sizes say.

(Amazing how much it hurts to hickup with cracked ribs).

CL: I really like Lyda Rose, so much so that I replaced the one that may have bought it in that amusing little cold spell at the end of February, when it was in active growth and setting buds before the temps crashed to 5F here.

Oh dear, sorry about the misspelling of Ameraucana. Sent it from my phone and my spell check was having a hay-day with the breed names (no home internet). I think I was just so excited to see other people in my area on here I hit "send" too fast and didn't double check. I'll be more cautious, next time. But- thanks for the warm welcome.
