Post a CommentI'd love to plant roses in my backyard, but I think they're illegal here (Hawaii). Not that it matters. I kill all plants anyway. I see them trembling in the store when I approach. If I COULD plant them, it would be somethin like the Rainbow Knock-Out. They sound just beautiful.
Good article. I definitely learned something from this.
Gee - I wish you had pictures for these. Or at least a scratch-n-sniff screen would suffice! I could especially enjoy the Strike it Rich. Seems appropriate since I live in the city founded by Sutter! Good work - keep it up.
