My Oranges and lemons Gaillardia did not make it though the winter either. I also have a Yellow Blaze climbing rose that looks very dead. all of the othere roses I have look great and are leafed out - this one still very brown and no signs of life. All of my daylilies, coneflowers, geraniums, hostas, astilbes, coral bells, pulmonaria, creeping jenny look great. I am especially pleased with the creeping thyme I planted last year from seed during the summer. They are growing really well. I have ordered some more of the same seeds and will continue to fill in until i have a nice carpet of them around my stepping stones. Eleanor
