I know everyone loves pics, but sadly I have none, because right now they're just not much to look at. I'm a total noob, so I grabbed three of the $10 bag-o-rosebush from the local Wally-World (two King's Ransom, & one Chicago Peace.) I planted them in a 50% mix of "Garnden Blend" potting soil, and was a bit surprised that the natural dirt around here does not drain very well, so I added a few inches of gravel to the bottom of the hole. I thought the ground was a bit more grainy & dry, but now it looks to be more like a clay. Anyway, I've watered them, and given them an ever-so-slight bit of plant food, and we'll see how it goes. If anyone has any tips, tricks, or advice, I'd be glad to hear it. Pics to come. Cheers, Cotton
