anything I should know before buying an arbor for roses?
Comments (11)Just for information purposes, I went through a wooden arbor and one of those plastic coated over metal arbors before getting tired of seeing my roses laying on the ground after a few years. I wanted something reputed to be impervious to ground conditions (rust, rot and termites)and our "tornadoish" winds. I also was concerned about the arbor heating up. After research I finally chose a Copper Arbor. That's been 10 years ago, and so far no problems. Even under blizzard conditions, with the roses laden with a heavy coating of ice, the abor came through fine. Although I couldn't find what I wanted locally at the time I ordered from this company, which is still in business and gave me excellent service. You might want to check them out and investigate a copper arbor as a long term investment for your roses. Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Expressions-Copper Arbors....See MoreRoses in bloom before the rain
Comments (6)Thank you so much Lilyfinch! Peggy Martin is coming into full bloom soon. I've got my dad now wanting to plant her around their fence and a couple friends on theirs as well. Love that rose and perfect for beginners too! You should definitely get her! She doesn't have the best rebloom like many of my other roses throughout the year but she is one heck of a showstopper in spring and will certainly give you that pop of color in your garden! I'll post again when she's in full bloom. That stinks your neighborhood doesn't allow chickens or ducks. :( If we ever move to another neighborhood rather than some land and a house, I've always said first requirement would be it must allow my feathered babies! lol The ducks have been so much more fun to raise than my chickens, they have such personality and are just so much cuter, although I will always love my chickens. :) ~Meghan By the way, see my pics are squashed too. I didn't feel like resizing since Annette said you can see it full size by clicking on it....See MoreRoses before the rain dump
Comments (21)Yes, Toffee is a sweetie...he's the perfect dog. Sometimes too smart isn't the best..and he's not the smartest dog you'll ever see...while my female is uber smart. I give my dogs choices, and they pick what they want to do. My female, Jellybean, once found someone's keys in the field and on another occasion brought a puppy back to its owners. I tried to train her as a service dog for me for my mobility...she could do everything, but she was afraid of escalators. She was two at the time and had never seen one. She would turn me left or right on command. She was awesome. She can get me anything I want...tissue, remote control, socks from the pile of clothes, my shoes, anything I drop, etc. She's very smart! I agree with you!!! I love, love, love Chartreuse de Parme!! I am so glad I got it!!! However, Radox Bouquet (one of my new roses this year) has the best fragrance ever!!! Even in terrible weather, its scent is fabulous!!! Thank you so much!! Carol...See MoreRoses before more rain
Comments (21)Beth - thank you!! Chandos Beauty is a fabulous rose!! It daily strikes me with its beauty and fragrance. I had to use the cup method though - to get rid of the thrips. You wouldn't be sorry if you bought Chandos Beauty!! Carol...See MoreAndrea zone 9b
