Hi,
I plant Moss roses between every Iris. It works as a ground cover and I
fertilize each one when I plant it with Iris fertilizer. The Moss Roses
grow like weeds and the water leaches the fertilizer to the roots of the
Iris. I had very good bloom last year when others were fighting rot and
weather and and. I had 200 two year old clumps and I had 150 different ones
that bloomed.
