Roses…


(Rosa rugosa "Wasagaming" picture found here.)

Into roses right now, they attract butterflies and birds into the garden making good shelter and provide food. But, depending on what rose you pick, they take up a lot of space and they should. The huge rosebushes or the ones covering a wall, arch or an entire house are my favorite. Just a small bush is dull but if you have a rose all over the fence running wild it’s amazing.

It might be an idea for The Slope… I’m not a huge fan of the idea but it’s better than what we have now so.

I have a few spots where I might be able to plant a rose… but what rose? I need a light color rose that can handle shade and smell divine, hardy and strong climbing. Oh and maybe plant it with some honeysuckle!
