Re: Rosa 'Paul's > now ZD

I have 5 cats, definitely keeps bunnies away.
However, this garden is at the CES on the campus grounds of IPFW.  There is
no way in the world the U would allow cats living on the premises.  Heck,
they don't even like having us on the premises, but we have a 100 year
lease.
