What appeals to them are plastic chemicals amassed in a bottle and sold at astronomical prices. Hybridization has given us beautiful blooms at the cost of the fragrance (selling one's soul, if you ask me), and the few old varieties that are left are rarely found. On a side note, has anyone dared to take cuttings from old cemeteries? It sounds macabre, but often that's where you will find the heirloom varieties of plants.

Cat Hi Cat - Do a google search on rose rustlers. There are a number of groups of people saving antique roses from old buildings, cemeteries, churches, etc. Elise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all kinds of anti-virus, Windows defender, etc., but my computer guy says malware is the best.

Cat i don't know about that Cat. Breeders nowadays are definitely breeding scent back into modern roses. Even Hybrid Teas, which were notorious for sacrificing fragrance for form are starting to be scented again. I've gotten catalogs within the last few years which feature primarily Hybrid Teas where every other cultivar mentions " FRAGRANT " or " WONDERFUL FRAGRANCE! " in its description. So people do miss the scent and want it back, along with the form.  And of course rose breeder Austin's English Roses have been out for years , which combine the fragrance and form of antique roses with the long-blooming qualities of modern roses. The best of both worlds. I bought an English Rose called Rose for my mother to plant in her garden and it smells incredible. Just like a rose should. I don't think getting cuttings from cemetaries is morbid at all. But then again, I am the Halloween Queen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Greetings, I am new to the group and would like to share an idea re: disposable pipettes. I try to use glass droppers but read that the oils will turn to black droppers to mush. I went to the local staples and bought a bag of assorted size colored rubber bands for around $2.59 and now I just wrap the rubber band around the EO bottle and slip in the plastic pipette so that it can be reused and less waste in the land fill. Much easier than trying to label the pipettes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
