Thank you Catherine, Jeanie you feel my pain. I am like others always want to grow what you cannot. I have been able to keep some roses alive by planting them in styrofoam pots and covering them with leaves then plastic when we get those drowning rains. Then lifting the plastic when we go to cold and snow.
There are some winters I just did not feel like going out and cover and uncover and they would not make it. I have had killed a couple of knockout roses and I did not think those could die unless you burned them.
I have found I can grow the heucheras in pots and just lay them on their side and they come through our stupid changing weather. Nothing is worse than having Fall, Spring,, Winter all in one month.
