I love growing roses...but the new problem with them are the Chinese beetles. The beetles cling to them in the masses and eat all the petals, often before they even open up. You can kill them with a solution of soapy water...but they burrow so far down between the petals you practically destroy the flower yourself just trying to get rid of all the darn beetles.
I don't remember seeing them around here when I was a kid....now they swarm us in the summer and eat pretty much anything that grows.

U know the usual perrenials, tulips, marigolds, "green tomatos", Roemary.
Its only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything!
I would be crushed if we had those here. I have always had a love of roses. When we were kids my mom had at least a dozen bushes in and around the yard. I remember asking to cut flowers and going out and cutting a bunch of roses and filling vases. Then there was always the few that went to school for the teacher.
On the way to Ventura some of the hillsides were covered with California Poppies, a beautiful display.

If Al Gore loves the environment so much...why does he keep sending me stuff asking for donations to save the polar bears...he's wasting paper from poor, innocent trees.
Al Gore is the reason we have global warming....he's just distracted you with all these accusations against Co2 emissions!
j/k
I'm a little sick of the global warming debate and it's making me a little more sarcastic than normal!

So leaning away from politics...lol
I am hoping to get some perennials and hopefully they will grow good here in Colorado
Go Broncos!
I would have, had I been old enough to vote at that time lol
wow, that was a long time ago lol
I'd go to www.gurneys.com
go to the "find zone" at the top of the page. There are 10 different climate zones in the U.S.
Look up your location on the map, find out which zone you're in. All of the plants on their website and in the catalog will list which zones they should be planted in. That should give you a good idea of what will grow well in Colorado.

Are you saying I'm old Well I AM older than dirt according to a friend in my Sunday league
Okay, back on topic:
Another place for seeds and plants by zone is Burpees at www.burpee.com or a visit to your local garden center. I usually look in the catalogs and then head to OSH, Home Depot, or Lowes and buy.
