I've so often thought of having beds just for cutting. The idea first hit me 45 years ago when a friend of my mother had a cutting garden for roses...hidden away in a fenced area behind her garage. I thought it brilliant since I find the roses attractive as a garden only when they're in bloom. I've done this with my bearded iris...they're in 3 gal pots to be brought over when they're flowering and then taken back to the nursery when not. Same with narcissus...potted...then I don't mind cutting them.
