ROSEGASMS: I am very excited about my decision to begin some serious breeding here using 'Old Blush' as a seed parent plus to playfully germinate open-pollinated seeds as this rose is tough and reliable in Florida. I am steadily formalizing my front yard and had already decided to make the revamp of the east driveway bed be based on linear plantings of red pentas and lavender ruellia. So I've decided to plant all eight plants of 'Old Blush' coming from both Mark Chamblee Roses and The Antique Rose Emporium in a row down the middle of the full length of the bed. This will look great and afford me easy access to each bush.
