| Fragrant Cloud is favored with an intense scent, great form, and and unusual color. |
Last night some roses appeared, Queen Elizabeth and another favorite, Fragrant Cloud. I dropped them into a rain barrel and watered them up to their flowering section.
Roses can remain in water longer than any other plant I have soaked. Overnight is too much for Bee Balm. Bare root roses can last - and thrive - two weeks in water.

| Lammerts, a PhD in plant genetics, developed the Queen Elizabeth rose. He was a take-no-prisoners Six Day Creationist Lutheran. He also developed the Chrysler rose, which outlived its namesake. |
