A ride in the country, about 180 miles round trip, BlackSwan ran smoothly all the way, it’s supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow, so I’ll tackle the timing chain and VVT solenoids.
This afternoon, I’m watching the Daytona 500 , at least until the rain delay!

Ebb Tide is a really nice rose. That one grows on the base of a hillside where I have some thornless boysenberries, and it always gets tons of hips growing because the bees are attracted to it when the berries are blooming. If you like that one, you should also grow "Twilight Zone". I prefer TZ because it has that same clove old spice scent and it holds up to the heat and doesn't wash out from afternoon sun like ET. They both have really good Blackspot resistance, which is especially important for me, considering I have steady humidity and rain, plus I am totally organic and don't spray anything. All my roses and ornamentals live under the "Sink or Swim" policy, because not only do I not have time to arse with them, but I cannot spray due to my farm's organic cert. Good luck with those. I've not grown Ingrid Bergman, but I do grow the very similar looking "Firefighter" Rose, which was the Memorial Rose to commemorate the firefighters for 9/11. It's extremely rugged, doesn't need any babysitting, great fragrance, and blooms non-stop. That one is probably my favorite red rose.
