The bare root rose season is here! I can't resist adding roses to the landscape. Here at Angel Crest it means putting them in the backyard, where fencing keeps out the deer & rabbits. So I love climbing roses and was hoping that the Grange would have a wide assortment.
But not so much since the demise of Jackson Perkins ( a division of Harry & David). The rose selection is not as impressive locally. It may mean that I'll have to buy online. But I did pick up this New Dawn (a nice climbing rose with some vigor, 18-20 feet at some point) pink blossoms and old rose fragrance. It supposedly tolerates the summer heat better than most. But now I need an arbor! Stay tuned!
