What kind of roses? Pics - theyre pets too.....
Knock outs. They have lilac and forsythia nearby. Really not enough sun to grow them full. Huge oak, black walnut and hickory all around. Lost the elms to bugs. I have sage crowding the herb box, so could move that today. The hosta are in the back and on the side, pre-existing beds I'm thinning out. Establishing hydrangea, azalea, and butterfly bushes before rebuilding the beds. Native grass, weeds and wildflowers in the lawn, no turf. Wild growth down the hill to the lake. Thanks for the tips. I want the deer as part of the experience, but can't find the balance for roses.
