Great idea Melissa, however, my neighbor has been in hiding for the past several months. She has been going through cancer treatment and is embarrassed because she does not have any hair, plus she just doesn't feel all that great. She is always trying to cover her head. I told her I think she looks great! (which she does!). Her MD just gave her clearance to return back to work. YES! She is on the mend!
My side bed faces her kitchen window where I have a double flowering pomegranate tree (no fruit, just beautiful flowers), my Lady of Shalott rose (which she loves), my knockout rose, my Emily rose and Brother Cadfael. She can see them anytime she looks out her kitchen window, her second bedroom window or sits out on her front porch. She has a small part of that bed on her property but it is growing nothing but weeds. I told her I hand picked them totally out of self preservation (I don't want them in my rose bed). I also put 10 cubit feet of mulch down on her part of the bed (I told her I had it left over when I asked her if she wouldn't mind), so I won't get any weeds coming over in my part of the bed and I wanted to make it look nice and uniform. I also told her that I am bringing in her trash cans every week as I am terrible at backing up on the driveway to get out on the street and I don't want to hit them. I figure it is the least I can do to be a nice neighbor. Plus, I hear her putting out her trash cans at 4 am so no one will see her.
So, unfortunately, there isn't any room left there for another rose (unless she puts one on her side--and she would have to install irrigation in order to do that). We did have a nice chat the other day and she also gardens organically. She is starting to make some small changes in her yard by removing a nuisance diseased tree, re-cementing her walkway, etc. I thanked her profusely for removing the tree that was awful. We were waiting to see if a good strong wind would come and knock the thing down on one of our houses. It was only a matter of time.
So maybe in the future we might do something together when she is better. She is extremely nice and I am lucky to have her as a neighbor especially compared to who lived there before. Yikes! The swat team came and removed him as he was the biggest Oxycontin dealer in the area. Then there was the guy with the loud music at 3 am that liked to jump up and down in front of his windows, naked. Then there were the couple that.....I have lots of stories. On the other side of me was the guy who was part of the Las Vegas mafia crowd that was found dead in his car at the bottom of a canal....oh, yea, my life is somewhat interesting here....
...poor Rachel from Palantine. 
Maybe I should. 
I just want lots of fragrance and blooms. And there's really not that much information on Forever Rose. So I was hoping someone here could say "yay" or "nay" to it.
