You are sooo lucky!! Enjoy!!!!!

I used to have several roses but most didn't make it when we moved a couple years ago (they ended up being moved 3 or 4 times with little care). I haven't replaced them...the dang Japanese beetles just destory all the plants...such a pain!

:eek: :eek:

I just went and cut my roses and brought them in and put them in a vase....it has gotten so windy and much cooler i was afraid they would break off....they smell so nice....just got an alert that gulf coast of florida which is me is in for some really nasty storms....very heavy rain, thunderstorms,hail, dangerous thunder and lightening...so, this will be an interesting couple days.... :eek: not even hurricane season yet, and they are talking tornado watches and warnings.... :eek: we have vaulted ceilings and a huge walkin closet, that thats where we will go if we have to...at least carl is home today....we have our own dump truck company (him being the only one)that the rain we were getting all night cancelled work for today....so, i am glad he is home with us....the fur and feather babies get scared with bad weather, along with mommy.... :) :)

so, i will keep you all posted with my weather....its only 62 right now.....brrrr for me.....

luv ya

Keep safe there. My stepmom lives on Cape Coral ( dad just died in December) and my brother live in S. Fort Myers. I worry so much when something heads that way!

I 'm with Stephanie about japanese beetles!! :eek: Though the Knockout rose I had at old house always bounced right back. I would like to get the new Knockout- Rainbow I think it is, but just do not want to attract them to my yard to devour my plants anymore!!

OC loves ROses too FLoridagurl

:D :D :D We finally had our first really warm day in Rock Hill, SC yesterday. Temp hit 72 mid afternoon . OC got to sit out on his deck for about and hour and a half.

My Mother too loved Roses (my wife too). When mother passed away, OC brought all her Roses back with him and split them up among the kids. Her's were growing in red clay full sun and were beautiful. We have the dark grey clay here and they just don't do well for me, even with amendments. Another problem that OC has is sun. His yard is really shady. Great for Hosta, but not Roses. Even had to move his Iris to new beds last fall so that THEY could get more sun .

Heard on he WC about your bad weather coming, our is deteriorating fast. Cloudy and just 47* today. Hard Winds.

Enjoy them. Anything that reminds you of your Mother is a great thing to have....

OC really looking forward to spring. Just a few more days...
