My name is Carmen H. and I ...Dear Professor Roush,<br /><br />My name is Carmen H. and I am writing to you from the rainy Belgium. For the purpose of this letter I have to be more precise: I am writing from the rainiest part of the rainy Belgium. We live at about 25km from the North Sea, but not in the most windy area (pfiu!!!). I would like to have the rose Duchess de Montebello, but I cannot find on the internet information about how she reacts to rain. All the descriptions I found about her rave about her beauty, fragrance, elegance, and, most important, about her more than hundred petals. Well, will they open? At least in 50%of the time? I know, I know, I should look for single or semidouble roses, but when it comes to roses my intelligence and logic are foggy. I want them all. So, to reduce the list with "all the roses on the planet" to something "doable" I am forcing myself to select only fragrant roses. I am sad to say that my budget and my garden are very limited and my marriage is in some way tense since I went over the limit of 100 roses. (The first limit was at 20, but I got an extension few times). I red Paul Barden's opinion about this rose and also gardenweb, but I am still not sure if I can have it or not. Thank you.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Carmen H.<br /><br />PS. I tried to send you this message as an email, but it seems that I do something wrong, because I cannot use your email adress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-25656494810907070832013-02-08T13:21:27.925-06:002013-02-08T13:21:27.925-06:00Thanks.
