I just couldn't bear to spoil my late summer garden by starting to move stuff around, so left it far too late !! Am catching up now !<br />Well worth taking rose cuttings - very easy to do and they are ready to plant out within a year and often flowering. And it's FREEEEEEE !!Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-37386818629059389112013-10-23T10:35:52.584-07:002013-10-23T10:35:52.584-07:00You've still a good bit going on Jane - I didn...You've still a good bit going on Jane - I didn't know that cuttings from roses would flower in the first year. Might well give that a go!<br />As I was reading, I was feeling a wee bit smug (I honestly don't mean too) - I was on top of moving plants and managed to get them all done last week. I hope you are a bit more successful in springtime :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682908724307784154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-39237390721619357482013-10-22T10:10:17.691-07:002013-10-22T10:10:17.691-07:00Hi casa M., you are sooo right about the career ge...Hi casa M., you are sooo right about the career getting in the way, particularly if that career is education as it takes up so much free time. <br />I am obsessed by my DA English roses and love propagating them. I am in the process of choosing 2 new ones at the moment and what a difficult but enjoyable task that is !! Think Boscobel is coming out on top... is it one you grow and could recommend.

I think I should be allowed a three of four day work week until I finish my redesigning. This whole "career' thing really gets in the way of gardening! You and I grow the same roses. :o) Wish I could grow fuchsias like that!Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-18737034187912369122013-10-21T10:40:52.821-07:002013-10-21T10:40:52.821-07:00Thanks for that Diana :-)Thanks for that Diana :-)Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-79505588124671483792013-10-21T10:39:57.272-07:002013-10-21T10:39:57.272-07:00Hi HolleyGarden, roses are just the best !

I am always running behind on my chores, so waiting until spring gets my vote! Enjoy these days of autumn.
