Re: Perennials low-maintenance, switching to Roses?
----- Original Message -----
From: "Dee Nash"
'Carefree Beauty' is the best rose in my garden.
I have Carefree Beauty, but it is not my favorite. For me, Carefree Wonder
is better. But by far my favorite is the Meideland I planted some 20 years
ago from a four inch pot. I have NEVER seen a leaf with black spot, and the
red one now covers an area eight feet wide by 12 feel long by six feet high,
right now just covered with blooms. Blooms repeat, and the hips draw birds
in winter, flocks of them in late winter. A white Meideland in a different
location is not quite as spectacular, but still no black spot.
I am presently trialing a number of newer roses, probably smaller, perhaps a
good thing, but they will have to measure up to the Meidelands in
performance. I don't grow Knock Out; I can walk overtown and see groves of
them.
