Rose Garden Renovations-Chapter 2

143_4392 I've always felt that when I'm in the garden - time stands still for me.  I stop and ponder things I wouldn't normally give a split-second thought to otherwise.  However, this past month-July 3, 4 & 5 to be exact - time flew by in the garden because we were trying to move over 200 rose bushes in the morning hours before the sun came down on them with a vengence and stressed the *?))>>> out of them. Boy did time fly by those morning hours!  Talk about a stressful thing.  I thought I killed my favorite rose bush, but after they settled in, complained, dropped a few leaves, withered & drooped, they began to come into their new spots quite nicely.  I had cut them back a fair amount and watered generously before they moved, and after, and put some GREAT organic fertilizers -Dr. Earth Organic 3 in their new holes.  I am SO happy to report every bush is settled in nicely with lots of new bud growth and blooms!
