QE vs a Bald Cypress
When we bought our house in 1994, there was
a rose bed next to the house, containing 12 roses. About 15 feet away was a small Bald Cypress. The Bald Cypress is now much larger, its roots are everywhere including, of course, the rose bed. Only one rose remains and still blooms - the sole Queen Elizabeth. (Technically another rose is alive, but it's a non-blooming reversion.) Whoever said QE is a true "beginner's" rose gets my vote! Anyone else have a rose that survives long term despite competition from a tree? Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

There was no tag on it, but I think it's a Belle Story. It also tolerated being transplanted in the middle of summer with good grace. -- Patrick Seattle, USDA zone 8 |

That was four years ago last summer, and it's doing fine. -- Patrick |
