Update.
The photinia is gone!!! Took quite a bit of work to dig up the roots of the four 15 yo photinia plants (pick axe). I ammended the soil with cottonburr compost, soil conditioner, and landscape mix. I then planted five pink knockout rose bushes in the back. In the front----one mystery miniature rose that I bought for my wife for valentines day (I think it's 'scensational'), then one Bill Warriner, one pink flower carpet rose, and a Belinda's dream. Will update as it fills in.
