Thank you all for responding to my post! I appreciate all of your help with this rose bush. I do not think it is sexy rexy because I thought it might be that rose, so I ruled it out when I went to a rose show in my area today and saw sexy rexy. In fact, saw two of them and they were too light and too pink to match my rose. I do think this is a grandiflora rose since all roses are in a cluster. I am posting a couple more pictures of my rose to show how it looks when it starts to fade. (when it fades it turns more pink) I also did a petal count on one rose and count was 43. I also am thinking if it is not Camelot it could be Montezuma. I was looking in some old JP catalogs and saw Montezuma and looked very similar. Does anyone else have this rose or Camelot? I am leaning towards Camelot because the shape of the bush looks just like my mom's 50 yr old Queen Elizabeth. The leaves are very large and this bush is very disease resistant. Thanks again for all your help and I have enjoyed reading responses.

I found a couple of photos of a white mulberry leaf on the internet. It looks different than the one in my photo. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/815/25105735.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.dkimages.com/discover/Home/Gardening/Indoor-Garden/Bonsai/Species/Mulberry/Mulberry-1.html&h=496&w=768&sz=29&hl=en&start=31&tbnid=fd7qh0AQsKpm8M:&tbnh=92&tbnw=142&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwhite%2Bmulberry%2Bleaf%26start%3D18%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.centralpark2000.com/assets/trees_database/white_mulberry_leaf.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.centralpark2000.com/database_trees/white_mulberry.htm&h=138&w=250&sz=7&hl=en&start=34&tbnid=m-jS9dEg0PpJxM:&tbnh=61&tbnw=111&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwhite%2Bmulberry%2Bleaf%26start%3D18%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

Could someone please help me id this flower, no one at my garden centers can figure it out! I thought I could upload photo, but I don't see how....I'll do my best to describe it, from what I remember. The photo I took shows a small five pointed star shaped flower. It was not a lot bigger than my thumb nail. The tips of the petals are red, and then there is a stripe of golden yellow and toward the inside of the flower is speckled yellow, and then orange/yellow. The blossoms were on a soft grey branch like stem. I have no idea what the foliage looks like as it is not in the photo. Any ideas?? I can email a photo if that would help since I couldn't figure out how to load it. THANK YOU

Irene General advice is not to use layer of pebbles on bottom of the pot. You did say:..."Putting pebbles in the bottom of a dish is the best thing so the water can drain out of the soil"...and if you meant saucer/drainage dish, then I am reading your message wrongly and misunderstood. Using layer of pebbles to raise the pot higher will work, but there is still standing water. If you mean container itself, there shouldn't be any layers. This is faulty advice that will temporary slow down possible rotting of the roots of plant kept without proper drainage - and that is potting mix, and the container. Container should have drainage holes - anything could be a container and look good, but drainage holes should be drilled in it. Different materials need to be thoroughly mixed, they should be of approx. same size to create fast draining mix, not layered. These are considered best growing conditions for succulents. Sure, you can grow in water retaining soil or in sand, or in a container without drainage and even in water - and plants may look fine for a while. But those are not best conditions for a long term of heath of plant, and even for convenience of the grower (has to be much more attentive to the watering...)
