At one point my rose garden had 150 roses.
It's now down to 95 and will probably hold
at that point for awhile. I found there's so
much work to do to keep up, and I consider
myself a minimalist when it comes to
gardening!

I took down the most recent bed and
transplanted the dozen roses into spots in
older beds where roses died (probably
due to the very wet and cool spring and
my lack of a decent feeding schedule).
So far all those roses are doing great.
We're still in the growing season here,
and in fact I seldom get a true dormant
season over winter.

Roses are not as much trouble as a lot of
people think, but then I'm pretty casual
about my "demands" of rose performance.
I've added more Teas in recent years
as replacements for moderns (Hybrid
Teas and Floribundas), and find Teas do
very well in my area.

My garden is a mixture of modern and
antique or old garden roses. It doesn't
look very planned but it keeps me interested,
and that's what counts.

How do your gardens grow?
