A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Bob has been asking for a Rose Garden. The best place for it will be The Butterfly Garden, however, the plants there during summer get so incredibly tall that they block to much of the light for the roses to be happy. I may have to compromise come spring and thin out the daisies and Blackeye susan to make room . In the mean time, this plant is in a pot. Planted in Butterfly garden fall 2011. Doing well and flowering.
