Too much hassle, I just love the rose and it is superb at the moment. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your kind comment, if you are this way again let me know and maybe we can meet. Take care great to hear from you.

I'm curious as to what it is. Lucky you with the cherry tree! Ours died and I so miss the jam, pies, etc I made from it. I'm sure you will be glad when it quits raining. It has been doing that here off and on for the last couple of days but we really needed it. Now it's just very humid. Your yard looks fine despite all the water!

We have also been eating as much as we can fresh, but there are limits to that! I have limited freezer space here, so I have in the past bottled them in cognac but that can get expensive:) I may also make some cherry brandy, but it is all a case of doing it in a hurry as once the birds and the wasps get in.........
