Interesting you should say that, Penny. One of my garden neighbors told me I should take a cutting of her gloriously beautiful rose bush and put it in the ground, and she assured me it will grow. These roses are so striking! Yellow, tinged with orange and red, every one a different pattern... they look like a sunset. In the community garden center where I garden, so many people have roses, and they are all so lovely and many of them smell wonderful. I never considered growing them myself, but now, having been offered a cutting, I wonder if I can resist...
