More Action Outside the Garden

Don Juan Rose

This is a Don Juan leaning rose I planted last year and decided to "Peg" by pinning down the long canes so that they put out shoots along the canes. Then canes are sprouting new canes which will have buds and bloom. The canes ought to air root where they are pinned to the ground. Eventually it ought to produce some new cloned plants as well as a "fountain" of blooms.






"Free" Rose Bush

This is a pink rose that I got as a baby plant as a premium for some seeds I ordered last fall. It's planted at the north end of a new flower bed on the west side of the house. In one of the pictures You can see some of the red salvia planted in the bed on the right side bed at the front of the house.
