[Rose-list] Rose garden design question

**p*@cdg-hargray.com**

Hello from blustery Illinois.
(wisconsin has cheese-heads - should we call ourselves rose-heads
since most of our waking thoughts this time of year on centered on roses?)

I am a complete amateur rose gardener.  I got $100 from my mother-in-law
last year and spent it on my first roses.  I already had Climbing Blaze -
but he
doesn't count - he was an impulse buy.  These first roses were somewhat
thought out.

One year later, most of my available 'nooks' have been plugged with roses.

If i am going to plant more i either have to a)plant a rose hedge b)
'waste' some
more space in my vegetable garden on roses c) start a new gardening bed
someplace just for roses OR d) plan a rose garden all to its self.

I have 3/4 of an acre that still has plenty of open spaces for a large
rose garden.

being new to roses, i'm not sure which to do.  any ideas what would be
the logical next step for me?

the rose garden idea intrigues/scares me.  can i implement it over several
years or would it look funny with roses of different ages?
