I got lucky and received my order from Parks yesterday which was the only decent day of the week. We had been having highs near 35 for a few days. Yesterday it was 60 degrees at 7 AM. Not sure what the high got to, but it was perfect weather to plant the new things I ordered. I planted a white Climbing Iceberg rose and a red Double Knockout plus 3 of the giant allium. Today the high is suppose to be 28. Crazy weather! Sure hope the roses do OK planted this late. Anyone grow the climbing Iceberg? I decided it would be perfect for the side of my garage after seeing this photo. It blooms on old wood, so will not get much of a show next summer, but will not need to do much pruning either hopefully. The red rose only gets about 3 feet tall and I planted it in front of the white one. I do think roses add to the cottage look, especially the climbers. I'm not the type to spray, so I went for very disease resistant ones.
