maybe in Holland (or is that the home of the black tulip only), but you may have 
trouble inmporting seeds/plants (federal health restrictions on live stuff like 
animals, food, and plants, etc...).

    If its any help, I've got a scarlet pimpernel in my garden.

    For those that don't know, Mike is just jealous because I have an
    offical "Blue Jay" rose. Renamed from some other name, I am sure due to
    the World Series victory last year. I promise to bring in a bloom for
    Mike once it flowers. Not as good as owning one, but that's his
    problem.

    	Ha! Jealous of a 'Blue Jay' rose. I just may have ordered a 
    rose which blooms to the full colour and shape of the American flag. 
    One must take special care of the planting orientation else it will 
    appear that the flag is actually waving in the wind backwards. 
    Also allowing the flower to wilt and fall to earth may be grounds for 
    'Defacing the flag' 
    Talk about defacing, the BoooJays are going to  get mopped up this 
    year by the Colorado Rockies.
    

	
    	Thanks Shawn for the offer. I'm still looking for the infamous
    Black Rose though.

    You can find a Black Rose in San Juan, Puerto Rico.   It's the one with
    the red light outside.  Bring some protection though.

    Hmmmm... Shawn = anglicized version of Se�n...mutter, mutter...and
    infamous Black Rose...ah, ha!  An obvious reference to the Ro�sin

    		OH!  MY GOD!!
    
    
    		THEY'RE GONNA BLOW UP THE GRAND CANAL!!!  WITH EXPLOSIVE
    		ROSES!!

    UPDATE: BlueJay Rose has 2 buds on it. I hope I am not on vacation when 
    they flower, but there will be many more for me to bring in to
    Mr. Cote.

    	Derek, (can I call you darel)


    	The rosebush I concede, bared a rose for its master once, but
    let it be known,the the blueJay Rose will bloom nomore. It will wilt
    and fall to the ground, to be tread on by more deserving gardeners.
    The other buds are there to entice its master to spend more money
    hoping for another rose next year. But it won't come , I'm telling 
    ya.

    	Do they have any roses with little Rocky mountain on them?

    Well the second crop of "Blue Jay" roses is out, and due to popular
    demand (girlfriend) I won't be able to bring any of these in for you
    to enjoy Mike. The fragrance is very strong, and pleasant.
    
     I suppose you could call it the sweet smell of success.

    What kind of dung do you prefer Derek?

    
    >>What kind of dung do you prefer Derek?
    
    That was CROP of Blue Jay roses, not CRAP.

	Well that's a rose of a different colo(u)r...

    

    	DEREK,


    	Today I'm glancing at the USA Today and what do I see:

    	ROSES ARE BLUE: After 10 years of trying, Burpee seed company
    unveils a blue rose. Well, sort of.



    	' A true blue rose a eluded breeders for years, but Burpee has done
    the next best thing. They've bred a wild blue lisianthus with so many
    petals that cup and unfold that it looks just like a rose. The feat
    took 10 years.'

    	The article goes on...
     
    	The lisianthus has no thorns and is virtually pest free. Each plant
    produces about 100 flowers from June to September. When cut, they last
    two weeks.

    	It is a  little sad that your less endowed plant was unable to
    produce such wonderment. I would imagine the black rose will never
    be realised. A dream at best.
    
    
    	You're comments please. (pls no references to Quebec ;^) )

    
    
    >>Today I'm glancing at the USA Today and what do I see ?
    
     I wouldn't trust that paper as far as I could ride a paper airplane
    made from it. I saw a few years ago that LA was going to beat Edmonton
    in the NHL playoffs (you know, when they had the Great One, Messier,
    Kurri, Coffey....) because, well who cares what bogus reasons they came
    up with, it was so far from reality that I had to laugh. I suggest you
    go in for intensive deprogramming when you return. It would appear the
    US of A is startting to rub off on you. If you were here, with a clear
    head, you would realize that the Americans are sick to their stomach
    over the potential repeat of the Blue Jays, and are doing everything in
    their bag of dirty tricks to discredit the team. Such misinformation is
    all part of a much larger conspiricy, and I am surprised that a fine
    intellect such as yours could not see that. Hurry home, to the land of
    free medical care, and get yourself some, you need it.

Mike,

Does ";^) )" mean you're admitting to having a big nose and a double chin?

    I'd say it was money well spent.  
    I think the Philly gardener should put a little less fertilizer on his 
    roses next year though.
