Beautiful choice, Zuzu.
Don't cataracts affect color perception? It will be interesting to hear if your perception of subtle colors on the roses changes after the surgery.
Twenty years ago, I had surgery that took me from legally blind to near perfect vision, and I was thrilled to see so many new colors, shades of color I had never seen. Picture going from an 8 color computer to one with 16 million. Overwhelming!
I hope you have your helper with you digging all those holes. Someone commented that they relocate roses if they are not growing well, so i am trying that with a few. Daylilies and iris that are encroaching on rose root zones are on the hit list this week, even though it is kind of late in the season. Our temps are still in the 80s, and the soil is moist from a recent 2" rain. My K&M order is on the way, and I am tempted to plant them out.
