Purchased and planted 8 barefoot rose plants from mail order catalog in June 2015. Only three survived the following winter, Mr. Lincoln and two crescendo roses. Mr. Lincoln is very hardy and beautiful. Originally planted roses in pots in Tucson in May, transported them to Eagar and transplanted them to front yard perennial border in front of stone fence in June. Mr. Lincoln is planted in southeast border just to the east of stump.
