Your are looking FABULOUS!! Hope you have a great day.

Joanne,

I looked for a picture of the "Joanne" shrub rose. Google search came up empty. I checked the Hortico web site and they do not have that rose any more. Last year, I gave the Joanne rose to Grow_Jo for a B-Day gift. Joanne had it in a large container and no room to plant it in ground for the winter. So the "Joanne" rose returned to my garden & spent the winter in the veggie patch. It was the 1st shrub rose to leaf out this spring. Unfortunately there was a hungry little critter at Grow_Jo's garden last winter and a few roses were it's food source. Since there were a few casualties, there is now room for that shrub rose at Grow_Jo's.

So Joanne (Grow_Jo) has received the very same rose "Joanne" for her birthday 2 years in a row!

Happy Birthday!

Joanne Too
(picture is Morden FireGlow, another rose that has lived in both gardens)
