Albert Einstein once said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” With that in mind, what new roses are you planning for this year?
I have at least 15 new roses coming this Spring. That will put me over the top on my “road to 100″ quest. Not sure where I will go from there. I am slap out of room! Well, maybe I could line up some nice pots in front of the garage, who uses that garage anyway???
Wow! 100 roses! That’s a lot of work, but well worth it for someone as knowledgeable and dedicated as you are. I’ve put visiting your gardens on my bucket list.
my vote is for the rose lined garage Chris fun to be growing with you <|;-) Annie
I totally understand. The roses are quickly taking over my yard. Only ordered 3 this year, cause I’m out of room!
The catalogs are just so hard to resist! I just looked at my 2012 list and I have 11 new roses coming. Gonna be busy. Gonna be amazing. And, by the way, I’m thinking it may be time for you to start a schedule of official tours to your garden. I’m in!
I’m adding four Buck roses: Distant Drums, Queen Bee, Folksinger, and Prairie Harvest. I also have cuttings of two Hybrid Rugosas: F.J. Grootendorst and Sir Thomas Lipton and the groundcover miniature Red Cascade that I hope take as well. Wishing you the best with your new roses and your 100 project.
Some great choices here. We grow Red cascade and it does very well here. Have a friend who grows about a dozen or so over a retaining wall and the “cascade” affect is something to see.
Who needs a garage indeed Chris. LOL! I am going to try the new Ketchup and Mustard rose. The colors intrigued me. I will see if it lives up to its claims.
Your rose garden must be a sight to behold! I am planning on redoing an area beside the patio, where the herb bed is. It’s one of the few spots in my yard that receives full sun, and I am planning on planting more roses here. You are an inspiration!
