What I did with some of my BlueGirls I just picked up was this: I had a 6' section that had a tree that croaked. If I try the same area for more than 3 times and the tree I plant there dies each time, I make it a "no-tree zone" and plant roses in that area. Well, this was now declared a no-tree zone and planted a total of 5 roses there: 4 BlueGirls in a square and Marilyn Monroe in the center. I keep wanting to call that rose Marilyn Manson.. dunno why. I guess I don't correlate a vibrantly sexualized girl like Monroe with a beige rose. Some of the Sterling Silvers I picked up I put in my "Red/White/Blue" bed. That bed has BlueGirls, Mr. Lincoln, and a mystery White HT (it was labelled Red Masterpiece, but blooms these gorgeous white smelly roses). There's also red columbines in there, too, and the backdrop is my Mount Baker lilac.
