I am hoping to plant my new "First Prize Rose" in my S. facing bed.
There is a small spot available, as I had planted a white rose in there
that I bought at Wallmart (lesson learned) that never made it.
So--the good soil I mixed up in this spot is still there...

The Rose I just bought had 4 flower buds on it---one already showing color.
I cannot wait for them to open.

I will try to right the leaning plant as I plant it. Don't like the way it is growing...

Here are some pictures of it right now... G.

1--The plant as it is.... leaning

2--The base of the stem where all the growth is coming from

3--Close-up of the flower bud that will open soon.
