I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.

The Bees Were Hiding
This is a cute picture of a bee deep inside of a Ducher rose bloom. I've actually never seen bees getting pollen much from roses until just recently. They've suddenly developed a taste for these blooms. A side mention goes to this lovely little rose that does so well for me in the humid heat of Louisiana.

A wonderful china. How is the fragrance for you?
Jim, at first I could not detect any fragrance on this rose. However, as the plant got older and the blooms got larger, I began to smell it more. It's still not a strong fragrance, but it has a distinct lemon-y smell to me now.
I have found the same thing with chinas. It takes a few years to get an honest sense of the flower and shrub.
