Comments (26)Kay- It's good to know cleome can reseed. That was one thing I meant to ask. It sounds like a great plant with the roses! Woodyoak- Clematis is always beautiful with roses. I have two metal arches in the fairy garden. Purple clematis would be perfect :) Aimeekitty- Again, your garden is beautiful! I have lavender, but it's Hidcote lavender, which is much hardier here. Catmint and salvia do well here...maybe the penstemon, but I'm not sure about the others. I do envy you your star jasmine. I just love that stuff, so I buy two small bushes at Lowe's every spring (only about $5 each) and put them in big pots, surrounded by white petunias. If I ever get enough money for a sunporch....it will be for star jasmine and an orange tree!!! LOL...See MorePost a few of your favorite garden pictures...no matter how old

Comments (8)I have a very reliable Chicago Peace rose that came from Wal-Mart years ago. We do cover it during the hardest part of the winter; hill up soil around the graft and use one of those attractive styrofoam covers (I know, but until it wears out, we'll use it). It has gotten so well established that it has trunks instead of stems now. For me there have been two tips that seem to work. Full sun from at least mid morning until late afternoon, and, for roses in amongst other flowers, keep some breathing space around the rose to allow moisture to evaporate quickly. Alyssum is allowed to grow up to the plant's drip line, and garlic is planted in the alyssum, but nothing bushy or floppy is allowed close enough to touch the rose leaves. That's why I'm bringing some daisies to the fall swap - they are encroaching. I also like my new Buttercream rose, but it's only in its second year, so I don't know how it will develop. For very hardy and unusual roses, contact these people. I have one of their pink climbers, Bon Bon, I think it's called, and although it was small when it arrived, it has done very well. I thought it was hardy to zone 4, so I've never covered it, and it has tripled in size in three years. It blooms several times each summer. Two roses that are not making it in my garden ~ Helen Trabel - she blooms once in the spring and then faints from the effort. The other is a two-tone red and white rose whose name has been lost, but it has only survived - nothing pretty about it. Here is a link that might be useful: The Uncommon Rose...See Morejerijen
