... In article , says... I think I must be on every mailing list related to roses. A large percentage of my bookmarks are websites that are in some way or another related to roses. I don't think I have bought anything new for the garden that wasn't a rose in the last couple years. Nothing beats the satisfaction of growing beautiful roses. I am officially obsessed. Mike z8TX Mike, do you have any links to sites that might show the general shape of a bush once it's "fully grown"? Please see example of what I'm talking about at the link below. http://www.vintagegardens.com/cgi-bi...l?id=65b1ia63c 8fa (search link) and put in "The Fairy" and once it comes up, select the bush style of the rose. Once you've done that, there is a drawing on the page that shows several "appearences" of bushes, and "The Fairy" is #2 in that group. I'm looking for this info because I'm getting ready to plant my first rose bed in a week (zone 6, northern panhandle of WV) or so and since I know very little about roses (yet) I figured I'd ask you folks on the rose group. The plants will arrive by the end of next week so I need to know which one will go where, based on how it might "grow up". The bed in question is hexagonal, with 6' sides. I will be putting in 7 roses George Burns Intrigue Lavaglut Margaret Merril Easy Going The Fairy Baby Grand Here's one link to a picture and description of a mature "The Fairy": http://members.fortunecity.com/cnett...ur/thefairy.ht ml Gail |
