seil zone 6b MIUpdated Yeah, me too. I know my water usage was less this season because it was much wetter over all and I deliberately cut back on watering and my bill was still higher! Our rates went up again.

ArbutusOmnedo 10/24Updated I don't HATE Heirloom. I just hate that I don't get to enjoy the blooms because of their propensity to explode before I can see them. It seems like this quality isn't something the rose grows out of, so I feel justified in potting...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated My JJ was a weak grower and always had floppy necks too. I think it's just the nature of the rose. I wonder if grafting it to Fortuniana would help?
