On Friday my two new bare root David Austin roses arrived! I didn't waste time; yesterday morning I did the recommended root ball immersion in buckets of water, and in the late afternoon I planted them on either side of the Eustacia Vye. That particular bed is finished now (aside from some possible future companion plants for the roses). It's on the south side of the screened porch, and the three rose varieties are Benjamin Britten, Eustacia Vye, and Desdemona. Considering that last year my Eustacia bloomed less than two months from planting out, and then bloomed again in the summer, I have high hopes of seeing all three flowers this year.
You'll be in roses heaven this summer!
ReplyDeleteHope they will fare well. We're at least 2 months from planting anything here yet.
ReplyDeleteYour gardens will be amazing this year. You’ve planted so many beautiful things in your years there.
ReplyDeleteYou're planting roses and we're still getting snow. Good luck with the roses! I love them.
ReplyDeleteWe are still getting snow, too. But I know my daughter and son-in-law are dreaming about spring and planting - the catalogs are out!
