Re: climbing rose

It's nice to see something bounce back like that. Give it a few more years & it'll probably be back to size. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Evans" <gardenqueen@gmail.com>

Judy, when that doped up teenaged idiot drove through my beds and tried to
turn my house into a drive-thro' - he tore off about a 1/3 of the rugosa
rose in my big bed not to mention what a 3500 lb. car did to disturb the
bed. It's a little smaller, but it's still coming back every year (3 since 
that happened).  Amazing.

That's my thought too. I worry a little since I also disturbed the roots
when I dug the hemerocallis on both sides. BTW DAvid, I have heather,
lithodora, daylillies, creeping thyme (Elfin Thyme is my fav), candytuft,
Little Rubies Dianthus, miniature daffodils, lavendar, helianthus, and iris 
growing around my roses. Ooh and Corsican mint.
