Sonny Carter SHOWED: Subject: Friday Flowers SonC The durability of the knockout Rose always amazes me. This bush is quite exposed, and caught a lot of wind and heavy rain last weekend as the soft side of Isaac passed us. I thought I'd share it with you today. If you click the image you can see it larger. http://sonc.com/look/?p=2280<<<< Hi Sonny, An interesting survival given the size of the storm. A very minor thought? Although you're illustrating it's survivability in hardiness, certainly after the weather conditions. When I do a quiet moment of flower photos for R&R. I have small pair of garden shears handy and usually nip off the dead foliage or shall we say a touch of tidying the look. Certainly in this case where there're still many full flowers looking good. A minor suggestion. cheers, ted
