| WOW! Lavender Simplicity looks great! How do you feel about the fragrance/re-bloom? |
RE: My Driveway Hedge

| Thanks,Dude: They bloom in flushes, 4-5 times with the same intensity. Smell like heaven when we walk up the driveway; sweet and fruity.

| A whole hedge of lavender roses! Wow! I've never seen anything like it before. And here I thought those Simplicity type roses were some kind of sales gimmick. Shows what I know! Lovely, really, really lovely! Kate |

| Thanks everyone for the compliments. Flowers have passed their prime now but from afar, the hedge is still dressed in lavender. Kate: I actually fell for J&P's photo shopped picture of this hedge back then. I guess their gimmick worked. Lucky me, this rose delivered. serenasyh: Although the color combination is nice, but sometimes I wonder if I should not have planted the B. Iceberg. 1. It breaks the continuity of the lavender. 2. It looks too much like Dr. H. I can hear the rose people driving by and saying, "Nice hedge, too bad root stock is taking over!" Meridith: I actually considered sending a picture to JP to show them they can advertise without photo shopping their pictures. But considering the state of JP, I don't thing anyone there would care less. Florence: The house next door was a rental for the longest time and now a young and very busy couple have bought it. The hedge was planted to divert my eyes from their unkept yard to mine. I am not sure if they enjoy them, but they never complained when I go to their yard to dead head or prune. FJ |
