Maybe next year, if I am out of my "no pots there isn't any room" mode I will have pots and troughs too. As for roses, I have never really grown them, I have to admit, though I have inherited several here so I suppose I will be coming to grips with them. Now that I've found your blog (thanks for visiting!) I shall have to check back and see how yours are doing, since I don't really have a clue how to use them in the garden without it looking like one of those awful municipal rose gardens that is bare for so much of the year!Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-67304218893188684502013-12-18T10:46:59.958-08:002013-12-18T10:46:59.958-08:00Hi Susan, bet it looks lovely !
