At least a bit. I wish our corkscrew willow would listen because we're thinking of taking it out. That Ambridge Rose is gorgeous. <em>Victoria, Maybe the willow is hard of hearing.

It didn't, and I was true to my word. Maybe it was just stubborn though. Your roses look great. Sometimes that perfect year just happens for a particular plant. I always rejoice when it happens but (realist that I am) don't count on it being the same way next year. <em>Pam, We're counting our blessings for sure but definitely holding out hope for another beautiful next year and beyond too!
