Vultures are actually pretty clean birds when they eat.. it's like watching a very very very hungry dog eat. GULP, GONE! and never seen one flap it's wings trying to fly.. just soar soar soar!
In my front yard, I lost about 6 roses. All of these were improperly planted (bud union above the ground rather than 2" below). The latest two, Gingersnap & Arlene Francis, gave up the ghost with the last snow I had (about a week ago). So, tonight I'll be diggin' 'em out. I'll put Fragrant Cloud where Arlene Francis was (I put a yellow less than 2' away, Golden Masterpiece) and I'll put Judy Garland where Gingersnap was (I have a Gingersnap in the back yard). In the back yard, only one I lost was Blueberry Hill, which totally sucks as I may have to order that one (it was a fluke find for me). Everyone else (I hope) did OK and have new leaves almost 100% of everything (except for a Chamblee's DA rose: Molineux.. still no signs of new growth there, but it had a bad trip with the USPS destroying it's box). Think when Roses Unlimited has a sale I'll get it from them.
