Thank you for the warm welcome! My hubs bought a beautiful Bella'roma rose (adding that I needed to stop & smell the roses...) & it grew from there. I figured that since I have just a small space that I need to be selective: it has to be very pretty, smell great, or be edible! I'm new to container gardening & Zone 9B so I'm playing!
My favorites? I'm hoping to keep two night-blooming jasmines happy 'cause I love the scent at night (they never seem quite pleased, however) -- and the miniature roses -- something about those perfect little buds! And how cool is it to use fresh herbs in the tomato sauce?
