First, thank you for helping support HMF.

What sort of problem are you having? Please be specific: what steps did you take and what happened?

I just tried it again and it finally worked. Before the "pay now" button do not link to PayPal. But it just did, so I guess it got fixed. I did renew just now.

I am about to make a statement that some may question. I believe Captivating is Dave Bang’s best rose. I also believe it is the best rose ever. As far as I can tell the rose has no faults, it is outstanding in every respect. The rose approaches perfection. On top of it all the rose is thornless, even the leaves have no prickles.’The one thing I cannot comment on is cold tolerance. In the American Rose Society rating system I would give it a score of 9.5.

Healthy and prickle-free: brilliant! But is it scented?

Captivating has no fragrance. As far as I am concerned fragrance or the lack thereof is not a significant issue when it comes to miniatures. Fragrance is a desired quality in roses, however, I seek it in the larger roses.

For clarity, your statement should be "I believe this is the best miniature rose ever."

No Margaret, as far as I’m concerned Captivating is the best rose ever. Over the decades I have grown hundreds of roses of all types. I have never experienced a rose this good.

That will stir those who think a scentless rose isn't a rose! I won't buy into the argument - I would find it very hard to name a best-ever rose - but I do remind people that the two greatest roses of the 20th century, Peace and Iceberg (when not planted in paired rows of standards) aren't high-centred HTs and aren't strongly-scented.
If I had to grow only one rose, it would probably be Mlle Cecile Brunner.
