well, I've actually only been doing it for four years, but I do think it works well for me and it's also aesthetically pleasing. I've done a lot of reading but the most comprehensive list I've found online is at this site: http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html for me marigolds, borage and nasturtiums are must haves. this year I added petunias which so far, I think makes a nice addition. i like to use hyssop too because the bees like it and it's a pretty plant. you can also use the leaves for tea. it has an anise flavor to it.

I have added this warning to other posts about garden dangers - fungal infections making their entrance via a rose thorn! This was at least ten years ago - but I was rushing one am, wanted roses for my desk, and skipped the gloves. Cut some rugosas, got poked a bit, ignored it. Middle finger, right hand, second joint - sore red spot, that night, managed to get out a thorn. But it never completely went back to normal - all spring, summer, the skin at that joint thickened, split, peeled, etc - just disgusting. I didn't connect the thorn injury until I went to the doctor for it, and he asked if I had been gardening a lot! He remembered his dermatology class having a case study of a professional old time gardener who had a fungal infection. He took out a chunk of the nasty skin, sent it off, and sure enough the state CDC office was able to grow the fungus from it. So a two week course of an oral antifungal, and it was finally ok. The doctor told me that the rose thorns act as a delivery system, and that he did some research on it and found that rose gardeners seemed to be very well-represented in the "victim" total. So wear your gloves!

If you can fit a climber or large bush, I second Florentina. Healthy, deep red colour, gorgeous blooms and slight fragrance. Thorny and apparently slow to get going, but she's a bloomer. I also second RIR. I'm not sure on DTutu as I've seen it defoliate at one of our regional parks. I'm adding a few new ones this year, but I won't be able to juge them for a bit. : ( One of them is called Valentine if you want to look it up.
