I now take care of my mother's roses. Here they are on 5-30-12
In the Fall of 2012 we had the basement walls waterproofed. Here are Mom's roses then !
Here they are after that mess was over with. I removed the lawn area and added three yards of yummy compost & garden soil.
Here they are 4-30-13
5-28-13 Tulips out, Begonias Cannas in, one new red Knock Out Rose bush in the front corner and 5 tomato plants next to the red picnic table.
On 6-25-13 added about a dozen Red Zinnias from seed. Little did I know what the Cannas would do !
06-27-13
Potted Giant Mandevilla against the house, Cannas getting bigger by the day and Zinnias look like their growing now too. Maybe I did to much...... Nah
07-16-13
Zinnias blooming, Cannas still taller, Mandevilla almost at gutter......Oh no !
9-30-13
The are roses in there ..somewhere . Tomato plants, Morning Glory, & Mandevilla have grown up fishing line to the gutters . Mandevilla at eleven feet. I can still get to any spot in this bed, but you'd never find me !

Snow storm !
This year Tulips, Tomatos, Red Zinnas and Begonias again while the Cannas will live elsewhere.
