Sounds good. Make sure it gets some air circulation as well. You can put out a sprinkler and a fan if you really want to spoil it, lol.

Cow manure, a sprinkler, a fan.....more to keep me busy? I know I'm nuts, but I'm gonna try the cow manure. I've always used that in earlier years when I had a big house and yard.
There is plenty of air circulation coming from the top and the fence sides. Mosquitos? No Lucy. The puddles don't exist long enough. They evaporate.
Pics I can't send, don't have a digital camera.

Lol, just make sure its well rotted so it doesn't burn them. They seem to like very similar treatment to roses I have found they both like the same things.

You should run a mister from the roof of your lattice patio. You can hook it up to your hose/spout and it's super cheap. You can find these little gadgets at the Home Depot or any hardware store. It's better in that it's misting constantly, making your brug feel like it's in its home way up in a warm cloudforest of Central America. Also, it won't use up so much water as drenching your patio with a hose. That's especially important considering the water issues we have in our state.

Josh. You are absolutely right. I've stopped drenching the patio. My city now has an ordinance for water conservation. I am a US citizen by choice and I "obey" all the rules.
I'm not going to use a mister, because my patio roof is made out of wood and I don't want to keep it wet either.
Thank you very much for your input and suggestions.
