We want to see those roses in bloom when you get them. We love you sharing your blooms with us...


Charleen, My Brugs are 5 feet apart and that is still not enough room for them. I will continue growing Brugs but as standards because they takes up less room. This front patio area has
become overgrown and has to be removed. it's only June and they are overgrown and so instead of cutting them back they will be removed and replace with the Roses. Their will be
plenty of pictures for I will be doing a documentary on the growing of my Roses.

Most of all the Brugs in these photos in front of my patio are all European Brugs, I Had
a purpose on growing them their in full sun. My purpose was to see why I was reading on
different forums why the Europeans Brugs did not fair and grow well in hotter climates.

Well, For my satisfaction I have Killed another myth that I once believed and the most important lesson to me is that they can and will bloom and grow vigorous in hotter climates.
Take a peek in my photo Bucket album or on face book and look at some photos I never
get to post on the garden forums sometimes.

a question was ask to me on yesterday how can Roses be easier to grow in my Humid climate than brugs. When i post a picture of what grew here years ago that was proof in the pudding and I considered myself to be a green Gardner in the early 90's. But have learn a
basket of knowledge since that time that should help me to be even a better Gardner today.

In my humble opinion to all gardeners is experiment and see what works best for
your growing condition. Trust me I have Killed a few in trail and error. But that did not deter
me from continuing my efforts in being a decent Gardner.
