You're giving me some good ideas. I inherited a bed of roses when we bought this house that run in a narrow bed down the side of our garage. This is the main walk way to our front door. I love the roses. Don't know what they are and they're all different, but I've never liked the barren look at the bottom of them. They are definitely not shrub roses. I've planted a few daylilies, but need a lot more plants. An asparagus fern I planted and thought would be beautiful was way too invasive. Had to take him out.
When spring gets here I'll try some of the ones you've suggested if they grow in zone 9a.
