Sally, no worries, I'm not becoming a ROS-advocate, but this photo shows some of their advantages. This row of shrubs was planted when my only criteria were 1) cheap, 2) fast-growing and 3) something that could be removed and possibly re-planted if need be because it would be growing over a water main easement area.

From left to right in my yard, the "shrubs" are a 'Natchez' crape myrtle, ROS #1, Hamamelis vernalis and behind that, ROS #2, and last a Forsythia....all much nicer to look at than my neighbors' house even though all of the flowers are on their side, my side being much too shady.

Although barely visible, I planted 3 Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet' shrubs under the current "shrubs" a few months ago to hide my fence. They were not happy last year, but hopefully will perk up next year when they'll get much more sun.
