What roses do you have?
I don’t remember their names! Climbing ones in the back, on the trellis-fence and the pergola, and small shrubbery-ones in front.
We had a late cold snap followed by a month or more dry, followed by heat ... nothing bloomed very well this year. My son watered everything earlier today. I have 103 forecast for today, 102 tomorrow.
I don’t have any plants of any kind, now. I had about a dozen roses when we lived in the San Francisco Bay area, but that was so long ago that I’ve forgotten what we had.
We had a hugh back yard surrounded by wooden fencing and we redid the fence so it was solid instead of staggered, giving us much more privacy.
We then put down sod, and stepping stones with scottish moss between them on the way to the back gate. Just before the fence by the gate, I put up white picket fences and had five or six rose bushes on each side.
It was really nice. It was the nicest back yard in the complex. And that’s the last time I’ve grown anything. Now, of course, I’m a serial plant killer.
