Hi- I am new here as of last night.. You all have some great photos! I am living in the desert, and am getting some roses started. I used to have some growing on the N.Ca. coast, where they were easier to grow. It's really HOT in the summer here, but nice the rest of the year. I have neighbors that grow some nice roses. I love nice big lush plants, but I will be happy with sturdy, in this climate. It's worth it because I just love fresh cut roses, and have for years. Chrysler Imperial.. (love that name!) does well, here, and I'm trying several new roses. The colors seem to wash out from the heat, but they are still pretty. Anyway.. they are doing pretty well in general.. I'll be glad when they get a bit bigger.
