I Beg Your Pardon

I'm trying again to have a rose garden.
South Florida is not rose friendly! California has beautiful roses growing in vacant lots!
So envious of you California gardeners.

This week I bought 6 new rose bushes.

I was advised to use pine needles for the mulch. I bought 2 bails.

I put on sunscreen and my old gardening cap.

I mulched.

I mulched some more.

I watered.

Eight rose bushes in a row. I still had two.

They were survivors from Wilma, that needed to be in rose ICU.

Orange, Red, Yellow, Lavender, White, Pink, Coral, Peach,

The bird bath is a rescued cement column with a clay saucer on top.

I found two columns.

What to do with a broken pot?

Turn it broken side down in the garden and plant a flower in the hole.

 I had two broken pots.

Breaks my heart not to use them.

It's starting to look a little better. 

Cheers!
