If you post your photos on the page of the respective rose, then its name will appear on top, not your member name

I am unclear what I did wrong. I went to the description page for "The Mariner" then clicked on PHOTOS (because I could not see anything on the DESCRIPTION PAGEreferring to uploading photos) then clicked on UPLOAD PLANT PHOTO. Where did i go wrong, given that my jpg's did not show up on the photos page for the rose "the Mariner".

It sounds like you did everything correctly. We'll move the photos and look into what might have gone wrong.
By the way, just in case you have further questions about uploading photos, the HOW DO I... button provides detailed help.

I hope you got my second email re: this issue. I'm sure i did something wrong because when I did it over again carefully everything worked out perfectly. Thanks again.

Thank you (!) for this update - you saved us much time looking for a problem that probably isn't and for that we are very grateful. We take reported problems very seriously and they can take considerable time and effort to resolve sometimes.

The Concise Guide to Clematis (Clearview Horticultural Products "catalogue") lists this as "pearly gray 4-6" blooms from June to Sept. Very Free flowering. 8-10ft. Pruning group B2" (treat as B or C). I find it to be more mauve than gray, and VERY shade tolerant (see photo)

Hi Chris,
I only had it for a few years in my garden, but during that time it matched what I have typically heard described for it, about 4 foot tall, upright rather then bushy. I love this rose; the flowers are incredibly rich, and long lasting. Underplanting/companion planting help hide what can be a bit of a gawky shape.

Thanks for the post. I don't know where you're situated, but here on the mild west coast of Canada this would be a medium to large example. One person at our local Rose Society has an old plant that reaches the top of his house (he says that's 30 ft.) In California these dimensions are also routine, but i've heard that people from your Midwest consider it a good size shrub in the 7-10 ft. range. Good luck with it, it consistently gives us a lot of satisfaction, not to mention vases full of cut blooms! Happy gardening!

Actaually, we are in Switzerland, zone 7B. By the way, what are the violet blooms in the background (we have combined Royal Sunset with Midnight Blue).

I'll admit to being surprised that you're not in North America because Royal Sunset is one of those roses that is rarely seen outside of NA (or featured in European Rose Books, etc.) As to the purple climber on the far side of the door, it's a clematis--Warsaw Nike. I have about 15 clematis in our small urban yard and the Nike is one of the best. No wilt, extremely vigorous, lots of flowers that tend to begin towards the end of the first flush of the Royal Sunset. I am working to intertwine them more as the years go by, because they work beautifully together.

Thank you. Indeed, we have 'Royal Sunset' from USA. I can well imagine that the combination with 'Warszawska Nike' will be spectacular. We have it, too, but at a different palce in the garden.

It is the shrub by Carruth, sister seedling of 'Ebb Tide'.
