LOL! Hey Dave. How are your roses doing?
We're in high 90s - 100 here, no rain for at least
a month and none in sight. Watering schedule
has moved to a spreadsheet. :) I'm watering
plants I usually don't bother with. The roses
are a top priority for watering, of course, and
so far they're doing fine.

I've been a baaaaad boy. I just haven't been into it this year. Benign
neglect has been the watchword this year and I'm hoping I don't lose
too many roses this year.
It's been a strange year for seasons here and I think it threw me off.
I'm not a natural-born gardener. I have to work at it. And this year,
I'm just not.

I tend to lose roses almost every year even when
conditions (including my input) are really good,
so I've stopped worrying about it. They get
replaced, which is an excuse to shop at the local
nurseries. :)

I don't feel like I'm a natural-born gardener, either,
although I think my neighbors would disagree
with me. I'm just obsessive about some things.
We had unusually good seasons this year (well,
until now...), with a cool spring and lots of rain,
so the roses got a good start. Now I'm just
watering a lot to keep them alive.
