Steve - you too? I noticed that in the east side of my back yard, nothing really bloomed except in my pond area, which I was watering heavily due to new plants being put in constantly. I always thought that roses liked hot & dry (well, not dry, but not wet). Makes a lot of sense considering my front yard has been so-so with blossoms due to watering and the extremely thick mulch (1' thick in some places) keeping it moist but the back, it's like a dustbowl for an inch, then solid as a rock.
I really need to watch these videos, but can't at work and never remember when I'm at home.
