lavender Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Nice! Is that rose Peace? I've never had any luck with the hybrid teas. What do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Nice! Is that rose Peace? I've never had any luck with the hybrid teas. What do you do? not a clue what the name of the rose is. It was given to us in memory of my hubby's brother. I don't do anything to them. Cut it down to 6 inches in the fall, don't mulch it, cover it or anything. It probably shouldn't be trimmed down that much, but I want it kept small. It is out in the brutal winter weather bare. In the spring and summer, I give it some super bloom ... when I remember.

lavender Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 When you do something with the cactus do it with kitchen tongs. I had those spines go through rose gloves. They are really hard to get out of your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelnut Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Beautiful pictures Bon, thanks for sharing! My beds are looking great, I am so glad that I got into perrenials a few years ago and I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have helped me out, answering questions, giving opinions, etc. It has been so worth it. Our neighbors are always telling us how beautiful our flowere beds are. Without everyone's help and advice, I don't know what I would have ended up with!

lavender Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The last one is spiderwort or Trandescantia. It looks to be one of the hybrids as the heirloom ones are purple and floppy. The red one looks like rose campion. I don't think that is attached to the leaves that are below it is it? It has a grayish, sort of fuzzy leaf.
