Re: Re: roses

Cool idea - maybe w/ some white alyssum planted at it's feet to echo the
white color of the blooms?? You're a genius! I couldn't believe the
price - 7 bucks for a 30 or 40 dollar rose bush? I have a French (ack)
Lace standard on the South side of the house I adore! And they're so
much easier to spray - ha! I'm thinking of putting the Reine des
Violette out back between the arch (gourds) and the herb bed in that
little bit of empty space I still have. Gorgeous big specimen. I'll have
Jesse girl check it out this weekend!! It's nuts, but I couldn't resist.


thanks!!

Pam
