I would probaly plan somewhere else for the lavender and rosemary if growing them as annuals. They are rather slow growing, low bushes, at least mine are. They are some of my favorite, low maintenance xeriscape plants, since I don't give any thought to them, here in the Phoenix area and I plan to add more, in the few full sun areas that I have. I love the rugosa rose idea. I had one when I was in NE OK. It will probably need a solid support and some pruning but I think you will really enjoy it. Another very low care, hardy plant. I'm planning on planting some shortly on a fence here, too,

I just saw your trade list. I could not figure out your exact location so all i would recommend is online plant stores. amazon.com is the best and the most secure one to do plant trade :)

Alyssa, Salvia is an excellent idea. Unfortunately we've got more than we know what to do with. However I don't think it is the same variation as you have. Usually it is very showy but it has struggled the last few years. I think something changed when cedar mulch was applied to the bed. We did not intend to mulch it because the plants always reseeded and did splendidly but there was a mix up with our gardeners and mulch was put in. I probably should have had it all pulled out but decided to see how it did. Since then they don't seem to be as good of bloomers, not as purple and not as showy. But it could just be they need fertilizer. We sort of ignore them other then to try and battle them back into the bed. You can see where they've been in the lawn and been cut out. This year there is something else mixed in. I don't know what it is. It looks about to flower so I guess I will find out. It is sort of salvia looking but the leaves are slightly different than whatever variation we have for most of the bed.
