I think this year we will cover them because I hate not having my glorious Nikkos. Almost all of the roses survived and my black and blue salvia came back AGAIN! Also all three dahlias made it. We decided to just use about 6" of mulch and did not bother to dig them up.

I just wanted to let you know so that you won't worry if we have another cold winter. I get so much colder here in zone 7a than you. I love that "evergreen" wisteria, but alas, we can't grow it here. I saw it at the Dallas Arboretum and fell in love years ago. I do think your top flower is Goldsturm. I have it too, and yes, if not deadheaded and weeded out, it tried to take over. I'm amazed that you and I can grow so many similar flowers. It makes me happy to think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-92109175237366112452015-08-16T22:43:26.776-04:002015-08-16T22:43:26.776-04:00Beautiful pictures Les.

Guess that was an "old wives tale" and I will be curious to hear how yours bloom next summer.
