To Carol: the second Serbian bed

I don't actually have any rose information to share, but my not having told you this has been nagging at me, as you expressed interest in the roses in the second Serbian bed (roses sourced from the Serbian nursery Petrovic). Earlier this summer I went through the entire bed, relabeling those roses I was able to identify, and I THOUGHT I took notes on them at the same time, but apparently didn't, or at least not many. And how shocking it was to discover that when the roses were originally planted, I didn't map them all! Then we lost a lot of them the following year, the Bad Year 2017. Well, anyway, I did do cleanup and take rather discouraged stock of the bed, but now it will be spring of 2021, if all goes well, before I can take notes like I did for the first Serbian bed. I'm guessing you might be interested in them. And I'm hoping that in fall 2021 we can fill the many holes and start the long task of making the bed semi-respectable. Gardening is a long business for us. I did find some nice roses ('Indigo'!) and some interesting roses ('Spong'), so I felt it was worth it.

Back in 2015 I made a catalog of all the roses in the garden, which I think is now due for an update. I've lost some roses, acquired others, and have a lot of details of individual varieties to add, including my notes on the roses in the first Serbian bed which I shared here on the forum. It's a bit daunting, but it's hot here and I'm stuck in the house a good part of the day, so I could work on it.
