Comte De Chambord did ok in its overwinted pot for the move, Its down to four canes so see where it goes from there, it is prone to blackspot, so if you are going no spray.. Im not sure you would want this one. Its supposed to be fairly hardy in my zone, so will have to trial that out this year.

Lovely Damask fragrance and a solid pink color.



The Deer came back, ate some buds, ate all of my coneflowers.. and stripped all of the leaves of Mde Sancy De Parabere, ate the top off all my sunflowers , but worst of all ate my green beans! They did this Sunday morning while we were at church.

I went ahead and fertlized a couple days ago with Plant - Tone, from my experience this keeps them away until the next rain. In years past I would spray a mixture of hot pepper and eggs, they seem to hate that, but in our every day rain pattern it wouldve just washed off. I think that might be another reason, we have been stuck inside so long there was no human activity outside to keep them more distant, the last couple of days, Ive actually been able to mow and start a fire to roast marshmellows for the kids.

JBs have arrived as well, but thier #s dont seem to as high here so far, but it might be a delayed reaction to all the cold rainy weather as well. We will see,

Hosta, I dont remember the name, It is a named variety of some sort or another, lovely double white flowers. I saved a # of hostas for the move, but they were all small divisions..

Oh I wish the deer hadn't had a feast on your beans and flowers but thankfully you still have some lovely blooms to share with us. I really like the looks of that hosta and your rose is the perfect shade of pink.
