MJ -- I didn't have time to go look until Sooz went nuts over your roses. Then
I HAD to look. And, because I am a Sooz wanna-be, I also made your roses my wallpaper. What a terrific idea. I swear I could smell them as I looked at the pictures!!!

I think the peonies are too close, may have to move the bush this year. Or it could be the beating it's taken with the two weeks of storms. I'll take pictures and share too. -- Margie http://www.picturetrail.com/margiek |

I have talked to a couple of gardening centers locally and am just holding
onto the ones I have. The other thing I'm trying to grow is something that everyone has and it grows good out here is hollyhocks. I am the only one who has problems growing the stupid things. LOL I have one that has survived. I also gave up and bought a trumpet vine along with a silver lace vine. So far those are doing fantastic. My irises are just gorgeous and bountiful. Anyway, sorry I get carried away. -- Debbie (New Mexico) Life is too short "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... I love the pictures of your roses. Roses are one of my favorite flowers. I keep trying to grow them here but it's too hot I guess. I have 5 bushes left out of the 8 I planted. I have one mini rose bush left out of 4. The mini's lasted 5 years so I think I got my $1.99 worth out of them. LOL Oh yeah -- New Mexico isn't friendly to roses. But there *are* some varieties that are better suited to your climate. You should ask around at nurseries that specialize in roses to see which ones do better in dry desert climates. ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."

I've tried everything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong (I usually have a very green thumb). Arrgh! ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."

Don't you just HATE to see a lovely bed with an ugly thistle or other weed
poking thru... You want to say, doesn't anybody care? My problem in my front flower bed is invasive flowers and plants. I made the mistake of planting a tiny little mint plant... and now I pull mint all the time. And it doesn't even taste every good, it's some variety with an unpleasant twang. And something else started popping up... very similar to Queen Anne's Lace, but not as tall or as pretty, apparently grows by root division and seeding... right now I'm digging it all up and putting in new dirt to try to give something else a chance! -- Karleen Page/Vibrant Jewels Vibrant Jewels Online Bead & Jewelry Store http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm JustBead Auctions http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 PayPal Merchant Account https://www.paypal.com/mrb/pal=7XJ98L86Z7S2C "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... Love these stories. I am actually an avid weed-puller. Kevin tries to stop me from pulling other people's weeds when we go on a walk..... And you're welcome to come visit any time - just bring your garden gloves and sun hat. We always need another weed-puller around here and so far I haven't been able to train any of the cats to do that.... ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap.

I have a hard time keeping roses happy. What is your secret? I'm allergic to
chemicals, so I don't spray them, and I think that's probably the problem. We have lots of aphids and some black spot. -- Karleen Page/Vibrant Jewels Vibrant Jewels Online Bead & Jewelry Store http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm JustBead Auctions http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 PayPal Merchant Account https://www.paypal.com/mrb/pal=7XJ98L86Z7S2C "Mj" wrote in message ...
