So many of the roses on your list are on my wish list, but I just don't have room for more roses. I have 1/4 acre where the front of the house has been turned into deer territory except for the roses Mrs J planted that I have now caged. Half of the back yard, the house level, is taken up by a rocky slope covered with junipers that hold it in place. That makes my planting area a lot smaller and I have that lousy soil. I can't call it glacier slurry any more because I've improved it enough so that I now have gophers and moles. Before I started improving the soil, they avoided the whole house pad because it was mostly dense rock with clay and silt between the rocks. Horrible stuff to dig rose holes in and horrible for gophers.

With the drought and the need dig up roses to make gopher cages for my roses, I won't be adding new roses for a while, but I will keep on making wish lists.

Smiles,
Lyn
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
