Rose placement advice?
Comments (3)Graham Thomas should get between 5-6 hours of sun there. Watering him should't be a problem but thanks for letting me know.

I got a good mattress topper and he said it's very comfortable (although at ~6'6" I'm sure he'd prefer a king.) I actually love the option because the bed is not used often....See MoreLauraLG Z5b-NwPA
