Jana said...: The title is spot on--those are lovely pinks. :)

I've never personally tried growing roses before but my parents have several rose bushes in their yard (reds, yellows, antiques and knock-outs) that they just dug a hole, set 'em in it with a touch of water and walked away. They bloom beautifully...Until the deer eat them all down to numbs. Seriously. How do we not have an entire population of deer with peirced tongues??; Wednesday, August 08, 2012 11:24:00 AM
Heather said...: Jana: You must have the right kind of soil in your area. Here, there's a lot of clay mixed in with the soil, which makes growing them a bit tricky. Not to mention that deer and bunnies seem to love them. There are certain plants you can mix in around the roses to keep them away, such as marigolds and garlic, and moth balls are also supposed to be effective.; Wednesday, August 08, 2012 1:49:00 PM
