Thank you. I really do love roses. My great Uncle was passionate about roses and I learned to love them from him. His were magnificent, rare varieties and his garden was spectacular. Mine are mostly Rosa Rugosa varieties that grow in big hedges. Very low maintenance and I don't do much manicuring and just let them spread everywhere!
I feel so horrible being an adept "assassin" of something living but they will chew down a garden bed over night. I've tried barriers and copper but they haven't worked at all.
