Thanks. Yes that is Chickamauga in the background. Most things grow pretty well here. When I took out the rose garden I took them all out because they were SO big. I am like you when it comes to perfection and to keep those roses at their best, especially with the Japanese beetles, it was a little more than we could do. I was very hesitant to do any chemical treatment for the beetles because I did not want runoff to get into the lake. From what I have heard very few chemical actually work on them anyway.
