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.

Your garden sounds like it was lovely. Mine is still a work in progress. You've probably heard Darks complain about the rocks and logs. The wuss! ;)

Roses are my passion/obsession. Hubby tries to keep me away from anywhere that sells them. Even WalMart isn't safe.LOL But this year Hubby got into it too. He found 2 Gene Boerner roses for $5 at Loews. He said we had to take them as they were killing them. Then he found 3 more roses they were "trying to kill". They had blackspot (yellow leaves) so I brought them all home, spayed them with Immunox, and they're in full bloom.
