Not her real name, I don’t know the variety I’ve had this rose since 2019. However, I just discovered the color “mauve blossom” and it’s a dead ringer for the hue.
It’s a climber currently 7-8 feet tall.
lol, she’s changed so much the second and third photo is her 10 years after I planted it and the first is the first bloom after my contractor ripped her out of my yard after going at it with his saw last October, he started work 2 days before I planned to mover her 😩. I didn’t even realize he started working. I have never, ever seen a bloom from this rose so “ruffled”.
I do not know what kind of rose it is it was rescued from an abandoned yard that was being demoed, but in its prime, it has gotten up to 10 feet tall without real training single rose on long stems, giant leaves, some of the leaves stay purple for a very long time beautiful orange blossoms with the sweetest scent and would put out a punch of new cane every spring with out much pruning.
The next cane this one gives me I think I’m going to graft it onto some Dr. Huey that I have just in case.
My 10-year-old Cambridge XL pavers have settled enough over time that the yard is no longer sloped properly, some of my container plants are no longer just rooted in containers 😩) and now I’m getting significant water runoff into my neighbor’s yard. It’s overwhelming his storm drain during heavy rain.
The way the pavers settled, a lot of the water now seems to wash toward and along our shared property line instead of toward my original drainage points. The pavers themselves are still in decent shape and aren’t mortared in but I’d rather not completely redo the entire patio/yard if I can avoid it.
I was thinking about installing channel/trench drains:
• one in front of my gate where water pools, and is perpendicular to my storm drain for one of my downspouts.
• one running along the fence/property line, that I could potentially tie into the current drain
Conveniently, both locations line up pretty closely with my existing downspout storm drain line, so I was wondering if it makes sense to tie the trench drains into that existing drainage system.
Has anyone dealt with this kind of settlement/drainage issue with older pavers? Did a trench drain solve it, or did you ultimately have to lift and regrade sections of the patio anyway?
Also:
• Is tying into an existing downspout/storm drain line typically okay?
• Would you recommend a channel drain, catch basin, partial re-leveling, or full regrade?
• Any issues I should watch out for before cutting into the pavers?
I also have a quarter pallet of extra pavers stored in the back of my garage shed and the garage is also paved with pavers so I have a supply to pull from if I have to re-grade and some get damaged.
I’m trying to sanity-check an exterior painting quote I received because the numbers aren’t making sense to me.
My house is a small semi-detached frame house in Brooklyn/NYC. Based on the survey, the building itself appears to be approximately 13.8 ft wide by 49.5 ft deep. Since it is semi-detached, one long side is shared/attached, so only three exterior sides should need painting. Also, the front portion is one story, while the side/rear are two stories.
The exterior was already refinished/painted in October, so I don’t think this should be a full restoration job. I’m planning to repaint it in Sherwin-Williams Caribbean Coral, and I understand that coral/red tones may need two coats. I’m also expecting normal prep.
But I was quoted $16,000, and the contractor said my house is3,000 sq. ft, it’s not I don’t even, think it’s 3000 ft.² if you accidentally added the party walls
After some reverse image search and chat chatGPT I believe this is a New Dawn and from the description of how big it can get. These are previous years blooms, she had significant die back this year, but in the first photo those blooms are on
a 17ish foot cane, the winter die back was needed.
7b Brooklyn NYC. Softly fragrant, dark glossy foliage, single rose bloom, prone to black spot ( my fault she’s pretty dense). Container grown…. Never changed it but it seems happy there. I so want to put it in a stone or clay pot but I’m scared I’ll ruin it or that maybe it’s long since broken through the bottom and is actually rooted under the pavers 😅.
I only know the name of one of my roses and that’s because I bought it last year. All of the roses that I have were either purchased when I was a child or grown from cuttings from my neighbor when I was a child or I rescued from newbuild/reno sites when the owners didn’t want to keep them. I wanted to start with my favorites 😆.
1-3 rose 1, fragrant, picked up from a recently dug up garden 15 years ago
4-5 rose 2, a pandy purchase half dead no tag Home Depot let me have it for a dollar.
6-7 rose 3, super fragrant, smells like sugar and super fussy even when all basic needs are met.
8 rose 4, grown from a cutting from my neighbors yard 28 years ago not really fragrant blooms late May to early June gives one good showing a year, current has 15 foot canes draped over the garage, she’s a little wild hasn’t had a good prune in years.
My first rust bag! Always wanted a School Bsg happy that’s it’s in color I didn’t already have🥰.
She’s actually speckled with mold scars but I used 1500 grit sandpaper and Leather therapy to even it out. Saw this strap on Poshmark and thought it would be perfect, didn’t realize how perfect! I can’t wait until fall 🍁!
Maddy! Girl! This could have never been you.
All jokes aside, this is honestly one of my favorite scenes in Euphoria across all 3 seasons. It is comedic and cinematic gold! I loved the blocking, acting and the cinematography.
We have Cassie Jacobs front and center, after all it is her wedding day, while the chaos unfolds behind her. She does not look back at all! She is so self absorbed even when her husband is being worked over.
Classic Cassie! She's completely locked into her own world, crying and spiraling, but not actually taking in what's happening around her.
Then Cassie, the absolute legend that she is, agreeing… seeking validation possibly with the Mob Boss who is oh so causally eating something he had to have made in their kitchen. I can’t wait for Juana to come and clean that up, the singular plate and fork and all the blood.
There was something so cinematically delicious about the scene. I can’t put my finger on all of it, but it just felt like I was watching a movie and only a scene like this could be shot in a room as tacky as that and make complete sense.
What was your favorite scene from tonight’s ep?
