What is stressing me now is that I bought a Knockout Rose almost 1-1/2 months ago--and there it sits in it's 3gal pot....
Every day--and they are so beautiful right now--I think I need to go out and plant it....Just haven't decided WHERE!

I have 2 spots in mind--and both of them will involve digging up the Rose that has been occupying that spot for years.
Remember a while ago I told you all that IF I ever plant something new--something old has to go....

I think I have already decided-----it will go on the far end of the flower bed by my shed....That gets good light and if the Knockout grows big and bushy--no matter....
What has to "GO" from there is my old "Carpet Rose"....It blooms on deep pink clusters, but the branches spread out a bit too much (...Carper Rose!!!!--ahem....). I cut it back last year. it does nor, really like to be cut back. takes 2-3 yrs. to regrow....But--this will be the "victim"......
I will pot it up and take it to work and give it away.....Maybe my "Boss Man" will want it.....By now most of his garden already consists of plants i have given him--and will continue to give him.

Had time today---but whiled it away doing other things....
Now I think tomorrow I'll do it.....Yes! Tomorrow....that is, IF nothing else comes up.........you know--like more "important"? ......ahem......

You get the idea WHY I am stressing out????

Here's the carpet Rose last June (2008) . I cut it down later in the season.....It is not really re-growing to any degree....
