It’s very vigorous and doing fine considering the drought. It’s a wonderful rose. If you love old garden roses, you should consider joining the New Orleans Old Garden Rose Society. In 2024 we will meet on Saturday mornings every other month at the Jefferson Parish Regional Library. Check out our Facebook page or our website. We are currently rebuilding our membership after the pandemic. We welcome all rose lovers.<br /><br />JudyJudynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-17465337751395447342013-05-27T16:10:41.800-05:002013-05-27T16:10:41.800-05:00Charles, I don't think I ever heard you say wh...Charles, I don't think I ever heard you say where you got "Talera" from.<br /><br />Sabena, I haven't read it yet, but I've been hearing about it.<br /><br />LOgalinOR, I knew from the beginning he would be Sebastian, but I remember spending quite some time coming up with the last name. Nothing else was in the running, just a continuous search for the "right" name. Names are really important to me, and I can spend a long time spinning my wheels until I come up with the right one. There are lots of St. Cyrs around here, so I didn't realize that a lot of people wouldn't be familiar with it. People are always asking me how to pronounce it, but I only know how the French say it.<br /><br />And I didn't realize until now that those are two different books! Oops.<br /><br />Paz, yes, although this house is full to overflowing with both!<br /><br />cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-16460812456779023062013-05-27T11:50:09.379-05:002013-05-27T11:50:09.379-05:00Though roses are not my particular thing, I do con...Though roses are not my particular thing, I do concur: there is always a good excuse to buy books and flowers.pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277192957468321948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-10782739498517169882013-05-26T23:40:43.002-05:002013-05-26T23:40:43.002-05:00I also wanted to second Sabena's recommendatio...I also wanted to second Sabena's recommendation The Anatomist's Wife and suggest another series, in the same vein, The Anatomist's Apprentice, by Tessa Harris.LOgalinORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256923560753000547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-43850944190926569932013-05-25T20:51:45.863-05:002013-05-25T20:51:45.863-05:00Candace,

Of course, when you saw the St. Cyr rose, it had to be added to your rose garden, along with the other seventy plus (if I remember correctly) that you have. <br />Was wondering, how you chose the St. Cyr surname for the Sebastian series, during your research phase. Were there any other names, that were high on your list, but did not make your final selection?LOgalinORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256923560753000547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-66386236242791219602013-05-24T17:25:35.201-05:002013-05-24T17:25:35.201-05:00Of course you needed a St. Cyr rose!!

On a totally different topic, I just finished the Anatomist's Wife, another historical mystery series in the making. I liked it. Have you read it yet? Sebastian is still my fav!!! Hope you have a terrific memorial weekend.
