PPal - I love the funguslessness.. makes 100% perfect sense. And I don't think I can survive my short growing season either.. probably within 5-10 years we'll be moving to someplace a little more south (Home: NM). I hate Colorado.. I really really do.

On the plus side, some of my roses are really starting to blossom in the front. Well, the ones that I deadheaded a few weeks ago. All my Perfume Tigers have blooms on it, my poor little bitty Moonstone, which is less than 8" tall has 1 massive bloom on it (blossom's almost bigger than the entire bush), Picante has given me a perfect orange blossom, Intrigue smells like heaven finally, Blue Bayou is giving me a second round of drop-dead gorgeous blue roses (these are bluer than Blue Girl, IMO), and Midnight Blue is finally happy and is blossoming in almost 100% shade. I had her in the front getting way too much sun and it was getting crisped. I moved it to my shaded corner right next to the house and the blossoms are to die for. I'll have to get some pictures of them tomorrow.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
