General »   what will you plant (or have you planted) this spring?

What roses are you dying to plant (or have you planted) this year? I'm waiting to see whether several classics will be available from Vintage Gardens in California . . . specifically, City of York, Hawkeye Belle, Mme. Caroline Testout, Silver Jubilee, Rosa Mundi, and Gloire de Dijon.

I also have several dozen roses that I grew in pots last season, then covered the pots in shredded leaves for winter protection. all seem to be doing just fine.

We need to dig a rather large new rosebed for them . . . and last year was such a hot, dry season that the bed never got dug.
