Cultivating Paradise popped up with this handy little mention of Lucy's Garden! Yippee! Thanks for the kind words and the link to Barbara's article. My goal for the summer is to get Lucy's website operational... if not, I may have to start a blog! Let me know how Adam performs for you as a pegged rose. My Madame Isaac hasn't knocked my socks off yet, so I'm going to try with Baronne Prevost, a much more reliable bloomer that really wants to be 6' tall for me!

The woman had an antique rose bush she'd grown from cuttings picked up at a cemetery down the street. (Someone pruned and left them behind.)<BR/> I don't normally like the kind of sloppy growth habit of antiques, but pegging could change my mind. Thanks! I'd never heard of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-83780076738673740582009-01-21T08:50:00.000-06:002009-01-21T08:50:00.000-06:00JAN - I never thought I would have the room either...JAN - I never thought I would have the room either! I just hope I have enough sun where that rose is planted for LOTS of blooms.

Unfortunately, I just dont have the room, but I think pegging roses would be a wonderful way to go. Make sure to post photos when yours bloom. I would be interested in seeing how this turns out for you.<BR/><BR/>Jan<BR/>Always GrowingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-48921564111009210242009-01-18T21:17:00.000-06:002009-01-18T21:17:00.000-06:00OMG, Meems, first I learn you have no palm trees a...OMG, Meems, first I learn you have no palm trees and now, no roses! And still a gorgeous garden! The design is the hard part for me.

Can you believe I don't have a single rose bush? <BR/><BR/>I'm working on some expansions as well... the design side is my favorite part. Waiting a few more weeks to plant is very hard.Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.com
