My rose garden was started in the Summer of 2005. I planted roses in several locations: the Hill Garden, the flagpole garden, the entry garden and in the perennial bed at the side of driveway.

The Entry Garden
Was Betty Boop but now is root stock
Deep Red Blooms

2006 - Has not bloomed. 2007 - This has been dug up-garden area is soon to be small pond Garden by Flagpole
This garden is by the driveway down by the street. Since it is a fairly sunny spot I felt it would do well for roses, however in the winter, the location ends up having snow plowed over it off the street. I'm thinking its also salted. Being its not very sheltered there, I think the plants get too cold and the salt is not good for them. The plants lasted the year, and returned but only from root stock, there were no blooms after the first year. Pictures -More

Excitement - Yellow - Zone 6 - Bought 6/2005- GRANDIFLORA - Home Depot

Update 2007 - Dug them up - they had died (One sprouted from root stock). They did not do well by the driveway. Thinking perhaps salt over winter did them in.
