Roses and Spireas.

5-1-12 SHORT HILLS: It actually did rain last night, 0.65 inches, with a little thunder. Everything is wet and dewy.

After it stopped this morning, I planted the four spireas that I bought yesterday to complete the new shrub bed, at least for now. They are ‘Double Play Artist’, ‘Neon Flash’, ‘Little Princess’, and ‘Anthony Waterer’. After the spireas, I transplanted the last of the lamium to the same area.

New blooms: roses.

Vermont tomorrow.

First Rose of the season should be a National Holiday.

Here are all the new shrubs, the chestnut tree and the lamium transplants, all looking quite happy.
