But the weather is really hurting the landscape, and where it's not being watered, everything is slowly dying. Glad to hear the weather is perfect where you are!<br /><br />Jennifer - I'm sure they'll give you a lovely fall flush before dreaded winter sets in.

My last garden I had a small David Austin English rose garden, with 9 different varieties. There was really only one headache rose, a rust prone 'Winchester Cathedral', the others I really enjoyed having in the garden. It was very hot in mid-summer there though, with temperatures often above 110 in July.
