Hi all! I was wondering about some information about shrub roses that
do well in MO... I believe I'm in zone 6A, but don't hold me to it-
it's St. Louis anyway.

I read somewhere about the old standby Rugosa, and planted one.

It's going crazy. In 2 years it has several little plants growing
about a foot away from the mother plant (sorry- don't know the
terminology) and I'm thinking about diggin' 'em up and transplanting
them. Stop me if I shouldn't....

What else would you recommend? I figure I should ask the experts....
The Rugosa is Pink, and would love to frame it with maybe white? 2 ft
tall? Would love suggestions... I'd prefer no tea's, as they take a
bit more work than I care to put in.

Also, if you have any basic suggestions as to the Rugosa, let me know.
Fertilizer? Pinch back spent blooms? Pruning? The blooms are kinda at
the top of the plant- can I get it to bloom sorta all over? Dumb
questions, all. Bear with me.

And thanks for your time.
Kevin
