Generally if I have unwanted pups I don't let them get that big without cutting them off. Why destroy them if you can sell or give them to someone to use as new planting material? Spread the love! That's my philosophy, anyways.

Have noticed that, too. My roses have never looked better in 11 years.

here is a graph of the outside temps recorded at my house for the last 30 days. It might be hard to see the numbers on the left. The minimums are hitting around 15'C (59f) and the max around 28'C (82f).
