Hello to all,
     I'm even more of a newcomer to roses than Val, I enjoyed reading Val's
discussion about shrub roses, they sound like what I need with the clay
soil and invasive grass in my yard.  The most successful rosebush (out of
four) in my yard is a miniature with pink and white blooms.  Since I don't
know much about roses, I like to read what everyone else is discussing and
seldom ever post.
     Thanks for sharing your rose-growing experiences!
Mary
