I was hoping for something a little more compact, but she smelled so amazing I had to buy her even though she might require a little more pruning than I'd like to commit to. Thanks so much for the pointers on the lavender skullcap. I did hear somewhere that it just isn't as hearty, so maybe I don't want it after all....I just love how strong and reliable the pink is and want something sun-loving that clumps and that the deer won't eat.<BR/><BR/>Lancashire Rose -- chances are good it came from the Natural Gardener or the Great Outdoors. I've had it for a little while and that's where I was in the last two months. And it was NOT blooming, so I bought it totally unknowingly! But I'd like to have some more, that's for sure<BR/><BR/>Debbi - do you have your Maggie in full full sun? any special tips for taking care of it? I've struggled with black spot in some places in my yard, but this is a new bed so I'm hopeful.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-45968624109294535952008-10-07T20:14:00.000-05:002008-10-07T20:14:00.000-05:00I just love my Maggie rose.

I have never seen it before and would love one. Nurseries only ever seem to have the pink although I do have the Wrights which is purple and a favorite seeder in my garden but yellow would be wonderful. I wonder if it will grow from cuttings?Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-7656004731641354262008-10-07T10:13:00.000-05:002008-10-07T10:13:00.000-05:00I think the Maggie roses will do splendidly there....I think the Maggie roses will do splendidly there. Their deep pink color will look smashing with the black Elephant Ears. <BR/><BR/>I like that little yellow skullcap. I have a lavender variety whose leaves are slightly bigger and much more rounded, don't know if that's the one you're thinking about. It's nowhere near as vigorous as the pink variety. I've had one plant for at least 3 years now and it's not much bigger than when I bought it. I did move it to another bed this spring and it seems to be happier there. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's thriving, though!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-3562904518240197592008-10-07T06:18:00.000-05:002008-10-07T06:18:00.000-05:00Lisa - thanks .

We all know that tight in the legs, tingly feet, kinda oooh in the back feeling you get a day after a serious work out in the garden...or at least a lot of us do!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-91787929493345913032008-10-07T06:03:00.000-05:002008-10-07T06:03:00.000-05:00Love that huge palm in your picture Diana.

I have a black EE by a white fence that really looks pretty. Can't wait to see your roses in bloom. Take it easy with your back. You don't want to get a sore back now that you can be out in the garden.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
