Thank all of you for answering about my Rose of SHaron. Yes we've got alot of deer, mostly Bucks. I look forward to planting at least three of the Rose of Sharons. Of course my husband says No more planting another plant so I'll have to hire someone. We only have rocks in our soil, so its a job. Any way, Thanks to all of you. I look forward to getting to know all of you. Mary
