alas, poor Rosarius...
Ferrets do not make good gardeners. But what they lack in skill they more than make up for in enthusiasm. Sigh.
I've got, or rather had, two rugosas and an apothecary rose potted and getting ready to emigrate to Roaring Waste. I faithfully put them out on the deck every morning and pull them inside in the evening. Today was especially cool, so I left them inside. Our little miss Chaos decided that she'd try her hand at gardening. [head in hands] Soil everywhere, and roses dragged by their roots behind the drapes. The apothecary might still have a chance, but "Adios, rugosas!" I'll try again this summer with a green-stem or root propogation.
