Until now, I have never planted roses after dark. Last night was an exception. We decided to plant the two miniature roses I recently purchased at S & W Greenhouse in pots on our brick patio. David Clemons, miniature rose grower/hybridizer from up around Huntsville, AL exhibited some of his roses at the Birmingham Rose Show, and I was struck by their beauty. I decided to give the minis a try.

Our lives have been so busy this summer, I have hardly had time to weed, fertilize, deadhead, spray and water my existing roses, so I was determined to get these planted last night, if even by moonlight. It was after dark when I arrived home, so I got my supplies and went to work by the light of a very silvery moon!
They were in bud when I bought them, and much to my surprise many had bloomed out this morning. I snapped a couple of pictures. I hope these are a good preview of great things to come.

>Ha! I did that last night as well. I was planting Glads under the moon. It's just so hard to stop some days
