Oh my goodness, what a beautiful landscape. *JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* See? turning green with envy!!

Even without the roses, wow!! How about putting in some Hall's honeysuckle there? Even if it's nibbled to death, you can't kill it & it's evergreen, attracts hummers, grows like a weed, and is evergreen in zone 5!! I had to cut mine down all the way to the ground this year because it was plastered against my house & I'm in the process (this weekend) of getting my house painted (hopefully!). But it's already trying to grow back & I just wacked the crap out of it. That's why I call it my Triffid.

This weekend I'm definitely trimming my roses. I may start that this afternoon when I get home from work. I'll be trimming 90% of them down to the dirt/mulch (again) due to winterkill. Oh well.
