Fw: transplanting

Oh, now I understand. The roses are still in the tubs. How far is the
move, Patti ?

Love the Iris, Roses, Peony combination. I've never had very good
luck with the Peonies, (planting too deep I'm told) but always have
had good luck with the roses. I actually think they are the easiest
plants to grow. (I no longer grow hybrid tea or mini's.) Could have
to do with living in the Pacific NorthWest. 

Sincerely,
