more Moss Roses

 I posted about Moss Roses before. I'm doing it yet again. I bought some cuttings of orange, peach and yellow Moss Roses. I couldn't picture any flowers but the yellow ones (and poor picture quality at that, too).




  I planted them with another plant that does well with little water and lots of sunlight. The plants seem too wiry, but once they take root, they'll be wonderful. Moss Roses are a good choice for amateurs as well as pros. They'll liven up your pretty patch with bright colors and won't want a lot of attention. They only need well drained soil. And a regular check now and then for pests. I've found them to be juicy targets for Mealy bugs. Otherwise they're mighty fine.

 So, go ahead! Plant a lot of Moss Roses of colors of your liking and see your garden host little rainbows, now and then.
