They are great looking plants with lots of blooms. It's hard for me to believe that's only three plants, they are all so big, bushy and healthy looking. Thanks for showing them.

Lovely pic. I also have Hot Cocoa.

Let's see if I can get your pic to post:

Great roses! I love the statue of the two little ones too.

Thanks everyone.

Caffiopeia, I appreciate your help. I guess I am going to have to practice my posting skills.

Jean, Hot Cocoa must love abuse. Directly behind these bushes is a flagstone walk. In front is our driveway. If you look at the center of the planting you can see the stump of a hugh Oak.They barely have any room at all & they love it here. Go figure.

Great picture of HC.

Mine is very puny but it doesn't get much sun.

WOW!!!

What a great performer HC is ! I wish I could figure out a way to integrate it into my garden . Someday I know I will be successful !

well,i don't see no stump.All I see is beautiful roses and a ton of buds for more roses.I have a old stump in the back yard,so I might try planting a rose right on it,since its rotted down to the ground.The deer is bad to eat up everything in my back yard,but am trying some thing different this year to keep them away and so far its worked for the last 38 days.

Kathy,

The foilage alone makes this rose a keeper. I have never seen such beautiful foliage on a rose bush. Even the thorns are gorgeous.

(Do you need more enabeling?)

Jean,

My heart goes out to you with the deer. I am not plagued with deer, however, the armadillo & moles keep me exausted every summer.

The stump is just under the statue. The tree men did a good job of cutting it down. These roses only have abot 30" each. They are not suffering at all.

So SO glad that I have two on order!!!
