In reply to doerfpub. I might try one next year, we have so much clay up here, it is hard to get things to grow.

Roses are so beautiful – we only have one rose bush in our landscaping and somehow it keeps surviving our brown thumb ability to kill it.

In reply to Sandra. Yes, try a couple Sandra. Shrub roses are great and they bloom continuously. Mine are red and called "Home Run". If you have heard of "Knock Out" shrub roses, often used for hedges, they are a variation of the Knock Out shrub roses. They are disease tolerant which is good as I had climbing roses I bought to make a tribute garden to my mom and Sugar (both who passed away in 2010) and I bought bare root roses and ordered them from Jackson & Perkins directly as I wanted "Stairway to Heaven" roses. They had blackspot and did very poorly, so I finally tore the three bushes out before they killed everything else.

Very pretty and delicate Sandra. When my garden looked nice, I did have roses and over the years experimented with different types … tea roses have one bloom, it dies and takes forever for another to bloom, climbing roses are gorgeous but they take a while to get to where they ramble and look gorgeous, but shrub roses are easy to grow and maintain.

In reply to Sandra. They need a more sandy soil. You could dig out a 2 foot cube and mix in some sandy with your clay, or heck just try it with you have.
