Was actually thinking about Pumpkin Patch for November's rose.
My roses are still trying to put out growth & blooms.. but I think yesterday's extreme cold snap (first hard freeze of the season) may have finally put an end to that. Which is good.. I've got horrible black spot! Yikes! How does anyone deal with that nastiness!! I didn't spray this year.. heck, I very very very rarely spray ever! But I will say that this was a good year for no aphids.. nary an aphid to be spotted anywhere! Probably because winter wouldn't let go this spring. Don't dare to prune now, not with winter finally starting to creep in on me. But doesn't mean I can't dream of warmer days (I say this as I'm wearing a short-sleeve sweater & it's 60degs out there, but it was a bit chilly this morning at 730.. only about 30degs with another heavy frost) and oogle everyone else's blooms!
And, of course, peruse the Edmunds catalog I just got in. Still gunshy on ordering from them.. I think I'll look at
@CindiKS 's order when it comes in if she's willing to share that info ..
