No Roesse Blacky is a lot lighter in the petals, Black to the Fuchsia was only released last year.
I do grow Roesse Blacky as well but not out in flower yet. i think Debster
has a photo of Blacky in an early post, you can see the difference.

Sophire Louise collapsed in the greenhouse today with the heat, so shes looking a bit sorry for herself, hopefully she will pick up again for Ayr.
Moved her out to my shade house try and keep her cool, my own fault as i never drenched the gravel this morning to keep the air moist :-[

We where hit with rust and we had to strip and dip the lot and thats about the same as you 400 plants :( even the huge fan had to be stripped :'(
Hubby was gutted as he is the show manager for our show and had nothing to enter.

Post by: loopyloulou on August 07, 2008, 20:08:56: ooooh lovely! and one with my name too :) brill! i love fuschias, but ive only got 4, not 400! one thats getting to be a bit of a bush, i think its a hardy one as its the one with thin red flowers and little purple skirts 2 i had from (shhh!) the 99p shop, one pink with white and one pale pink with purple, and another in the back garden which i think is pink and red, cant actually remember but its always slow to get on with the buisness of growing and then flowering, the other 3 are going great now but that ones just about thinking about it, lol, i am mean to them tho, 2 are in pots 2 are in the borders and no protection, only the ones in pots get watered and fed, im not sure what i should be doing with them, lol, but im going to try and take cuttings of the bushy one for a neighbours front garden... fingers crossed!

good luck at the show, and flowers sorry 2 hear about the rust :( hope they bounce back and give you a good show next yr xx lou xx

Post by: rdm51 on August 08, 2008, 20:57:56: Sorry to hear about the rust flowerofshona. have been lucky this year the only problem i have had was the build up of heat in greenhouse whilst at work and unable to control it. as i cannot fit everything in the two shade houses.
Don't think i did to well at Ayr, on the trip over there i took unwell and just didn't feel like showing, i did manage to put a few plants up but just wanted to get home to my bed, so nothing got dressed and half the stuff i took just came back home with me.
Still feeling a bit rough so not going to the show until Sunday, nearly a whole years work done the drain but as the wife says my health comes first
and always next year.

loopyloulou if you looking for a few cuttings give me a shout I'm more than happy to help out and thanks for the good luck.
