Another shot. Roses aren't doing much right now, but we may have small flush in a few weeks. I need to get more nitrogen in that soil. Rosetone is not enough.

We set up a 1,000 gal. water tank at the top of the hill. We pump water into it from a brook down below, and then water the plants using gravity feed.

I'm really starting to love Helianthus. I whack them back hard in July to keep them shorter and bushier.

What a labor of love! Everything is just so beautiful. Paul I now have two Savoy hotel roses since you posted pics a few weeks ago. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks all. And shopshops, I think you will love your Savoy Hotel. -Paul

Over the past three years I have had helpers who have not been very diligent about not misplacing the labels on my many own-root roses. Consequently, I now have about a hundred roses that I am trying to identify. Many are varieties that I have not grown before, making ID a challenge, Fortunately, I kept all my invoices, so eventually I believe I'll figure it all out.

Here is one of the mystery roses in the cemetery:

I am really impressed by your efforts. The cemetery is charming. You have done a beautiful job. I'm sure it is much appreciated. I just love it when people like you take on such a challenge to beautify their community.
