Roses--Yes! I sometimes also think how on earth I can have this big a variety?
I think the secret is to just have a couple of this and that.

Jan--Will tag one for you----maybe even two.

You can grow the Tiger Lilies from all the bulbils (size of a peppercorn) that develop in all the axils
of stem and a leaf. If you do not collect them--they just fall to the ground and come up.

I collect them and trow them all in some soil in a small window-box and put it against the house on
the S. side. Throw some leaves over it. They all grow and by next year look like this. Then I pot them in small pots
and they stay outside all year again.
