And the pink and rose and lavender colors you guys so admire get so washed out in the midwestern sun...they are just blah! We can go 90 days with temperatures in the 80s, but no rainfall. Parts of the country would have temperatures in the 90s wih no rainfall for 3 months. How do you think the cottage roses would like that? I can't even grow roses thanks to these guys -- the lovely Japanese Beetles we have for the month of July. The flower under it is a dahlia, though I realize it is unrecognizeable. I figure our cottages looks different, so why not our cottage gardens? Suzy |
