Cat--we cross-posted....

When Allan Summers was at his peak (on the radio), he promoted certain
plants and products. I am still quite influenced with these.

The "Carpet Rose" was one of his plants to talk endlessly about.
SO--I got one--don't remember where--maybe at his place?

First it grew in the bed on the W. side of my shed. It, kind of, outgrew
that location--so I planted it at a front corner of my house--in the bed
where I did the rock edging Ric helped me with.

It has now grown huge--and is taking over the bed there.
Will cut it back severely in late fall--or very early Spring.
I DO like it--but there are other plants there that deserve their share of space too.

A cluster of the same from last year....

I bet this Rose could be rooted! HMMMMMMMMMMMM...ideas.....
