Thanks for showing!! Your Ambridge rose photo is wonderful!! Does it smell of myrrh?

In your bottom picture it looks like your mulch is broken twigs. I like the look of it. How's that going for you?

Carol,

I'm still new to gardening with roses...so, I have no idea what myrrh smells like. I even tried to look it up, but that was no help. Ambridge Rose does have a wonderful fragrance though.

The twigs....yes, those are from 8 years of a pink trumpet vine that took over. When we chopped it down, we ended up with alot of what you see in the picture, so I left it as is. The area is being planted with roses and then will be covered with mulch. The twigs themselves really don't help with water retention.....just being lazy in cleaning it all up, I suppose.

Thanks

Hi Carrie, where are you located? While sitting here computin yesterday morning there was one really loud clap of thunder. I was so startled I nearly fell off my chair. We got some rain, but no real storm, and mild temps are predicted for today before it turns off unseasonably cold again tonight. Sue

I got to go back to spring when I was in St. Louis last weekend. Tulips blooming all over the place making me remember just why I loved them so much when I lived up north. I've pretty much given up on them down here as you have to chill them for 6-8 weeks & then when they bloom it's starting to get hot so the blooms only last a couple of days. Also loved all the flowering cherries, especially the weeping variety. We can't grown them either. However, I came home to all my roses in their first magnificant flush of bloom, the daylilies starting to bloom as are the first crinums. Of course, the weeds have also taken flight, but right now everything is just too pretty to believe.
