One can never have too many roses. Ever. Or shoes.
That's the law.
I took notes on your notes, and hopefully next year I'll be able to really look at my plantings in the same way, and make some better landscaping choices.
Even though our climates vary widely, on roses we share, I agree with your assessment 100%.
Porkpal, friends convinced me to buy multiples of Sea Foam and plant a whole hillside in them, and I am sorely disappointed, I've seen it growing well for others, but it doesn't do squat here. The K-State extension experimental station here tests for Earthkind, and they have a dozen of them that grow beautifully. Mine spread, but they don't bloom. What good is that? I didn't feed mine, but they didn't feed theirs either.
