Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
I saw this little bowl of beauty when visiting our Southern Land Company's Arthouse development in Keller, Texas.
I just wish I knew what kind of rose this is!

"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

Google patiohit and you might find it...I just bought Alicante Hit Poulpah033 and was trying to figure out what to pair it with. Thanks for the idea!
Darla, you're my new best friend! how have I never heard of these before?! thanks for passing on this great bit of info on Patiohit roses. reinforces my belief that the more I learn the more things I realize I don't know.
Barbara, the ArtHouse in Keller is a mile from my house - I hope I didn't miss you!
