IN the spring 1996 I planted dwarf Royal Knight (claims to rebloom) and
dwarf Ritz along with several tbs that I got from Dutch Gardens.
Everything I planted came up -- npothing bloomed (I didn't expect them
to) but one Royal Knight bloomed in Sept. so I am expecting great
things this spring (optimist that I am). On the strength of this, I
guess they do well in the "north".
Rima terra@catskill.net where it is very cold and we got a lot of deep
frost from Sept. on. naturally, nothing has appeared in my garden yet.
