I absolutely love Well Being! For me, that is rose perfection Lovey dubby

Last year at this time I had roses starting to bloom, this year not a bud in sight yet. We are finally getting consistent warm weather and they are growing now, but many are only 4 or 5 inches tall. At this rate first flush will arrive about the same time the Japanese beetles emerge. It has been such a discouraging spring.

A couple of days ago I weeded, fertilized and mulched the border with buff and russet toned roses and planted some new mums among them. At least I feel better having given them some TLC, and seeing the bed looking tidy and neat prompts me to keep going with it.
