Betty - Only problem is that they have to get established so they can survive my winter. You don't have a winter. I do.. and it sucks big time. Normal winter temps are between 10-20degs with lows down into the neg 10s. My roses HAVE to get a good root system during my short short growing season, and I pretty much am stopped with the planting by mid June. I've found out the hard way that, unless I take some extra precautions, roses that I plant after July 15th just don't make it. :(
I hate Colorado. LOL
