We have roses! 7-3-11









We have bright, wonderfully scented roses now.

This is a more mature example of the type of rose Son and I planted about a month ago. The image is from moonnurseries.com and is of a hot pink "double knock-out" shrub rose.

We ended up removing the two original rose bushes next to the garage as one was a non-blooming climber and the other had some sort of blight that was destroying the buds.

I had only meant to get three bushes, one for the main flower bed and the two for the garage but apparently there was a two-for-one sale in the catalog that I hadn't noticed while purchasing. We found places for five of the bushes by putting three in the center bed, instead of the intended one, and the sixth one we ended up giving to the neighbor across the street who is adding to their landscaping as well.
