Hello, Everyone.
I'm still so very happy with my roses, and my sister in NYC has been grateful for all of the advice you've sent her way about the care and tending of rose trees--
the greening of Manhattan was, indeed, a sight to see my last visit there. As I might have mentioned there's been an incentive for the city to turn abandoned properties, not into vacant lots or more real-estate, but into community gardens. There is a bit of patience-work to be done with the administrative side of it but my sister Karen seems to thrive on the problem-solving involved. Her reward is a quiet place to sit nearby any time she'd like, and a chance to learn about gardening, there in the heart of a large city. It's now a passion we can share. And what a difference it's made in the residential areas. Every few blocks there is a fresh breath of the green and growing!

So thanks, all, for sharing your advice and enthusiasm.

Best, Beverly
