OK you guys, here's another thought. I have 10 of these that I need to do something with, so what do you think about this idea: I have a bed under a large oak. Right now there are 3 encore azaleas (white) and a big stand of daffodils next to the trunk. There are a couple of other things too, but those could be relocated. What about filling that bed with Rozanne? Would it also make a nice foil for dying daffodil foilage (another issue I've been trying to figure out how to resolve). The only thing that worries me is it seems to be pretty dry shade under there. Two of the azaleas are doing fine, but one gets very wilty every few days. I've really had to watch and keep it watered. I'm hoping it's just because they are all young (first year). But they would fill this bed nicely, and probably get just the right amount of light. Not sure how I feel about purple blooms under there, though. Argh! What am I going to do with 10 geraniums!! I really don't have a lot of shade options in this yard...Under the oak is about it. The only other thing I can think of is, I was planning to do a swath of monkey grass around the perimeter of the oak, edging the sidewalk and the driveway in a curve. I probably need to take a picture of this for it to make sense. Anyway, I guess I could use Rozanne there instead. Monkey grass seems better for longer interest, though. Shoot. I've got to figure out what to do with these. They are just gorgeous, and so healthy.

Let's see, what do I have in my yard that's survived our summers: Manzanitas -- there are several varieties and one might be shorter. Ceonothus -- there are shorter ones Leucophyllum frutescans -- Texas Ranger -- once again, look for the shorter ones Polygala dalmaisiana -- Sweet Pea Shrub Hydrangea Arbutus unedo -- Strawberry Tree on dwarf stock? Oleander -- shorter kind Nandina domestica -- Heavenly Bamboo (the trick is to remove to the ground the oldest canes yearly; NEVER shear-off the top.) Feijoa sellowiana -- Pineapple (or Strawberry) Guava Euonymus --- various kinds Berberis thunbergii Citrus on dwarf rootstock

I am positive that KnockOut Roses are genetically modified roses. William Radler is the man responsible for breeding, these Franken Roses. He must have taken genes from the noxious weed Rosa multiflora to create roses bushes, that people can just plant anywhere, ignore, and not spray so the mites can run wild. This is what pushed Rosette Virus from an obscure condition that has been around since 1941, to a dangerous plague threatening everyone’s roses. According to the link below, mass planting of KnockOut Roses which were planted close together to control uglier weeds. Moreover Knock Out Roses are super susceptible due to the Rosa Multiflora or other unknown genes that were added. I have a pet peeve against neighbors who try to save money on landscaping and fence building by planting ivy or bamboo. Ivy and Bamboo spill over into my yard. How do I know my neighbors have not planted KnockOut Roses. If I now fail to not spray twice a week, which is completely too much (maybe the sprays cause cancer,) I can worry that mites are wafting in the air towards my roses, all summer long. And this is if any of my roses survive to be planted outside or if I have to destroy and burn them all now before I can even get started to appreciate the hot weather in Ukiah’s summers. Clemson University Article on KnockOut Roses excerpt from the article list above The Knockout rose has become a staple in the landscape. When introduced to the market in 2000 it was named the All-American Rose Selection Winner. They were marketed as low-maintenance, drought tolerant, self-cleaning roses that were resistant to powdery mildew and black spot. It is no surprise that this new rose took the market by storm, with record-breaking sales for a new rose and becoming the most widely sold rose in North America. Since then, Knockout roses have been used in mass plantings in multiple landscapes. Having many plants of one variety planted close together makes it easy for insects and diseases to spread, and that is particularly true for this disease.”

I would go with 366 for sure. You will notice when you are looking at them in a side by side comparison but most wuold never know unless they are specifically looking for it. Even in MN overheating can be a big problem and I often recommend to go to 366 despite are heating season.I don't visable light will be a problem with a big bank of windows and I would take the comfort over the visable light.
