Since Shane added the diversion to the grey water hose our rose plants have been blooming. They started doing so well we decided to make that area a rose garden. We ordered a few plants online from GardenExpress to see what they were like. Online had a much larger variety to choose from and were cheaper than any we'd seen in stores. The roses were delivered packaged in a box, bare rooted and all had shoots forming. We got them planted immediately. They looked sad the first few days but soon recovered. I put banana peel around the plants as it is meant to give them a nutrient boost, and have been spraying for black spot to try to keep them healthy. They have been in a few weeks now and all have leaves already. I think we'll order more so we can get mass impact with flowers. It'd be nice to have lots of colour.

I didn't know Iceburg came in Crimson? I've only ever seen the white and the yellow.
