My Dot Moms column is up today if anyone wants to go leave a comment and say hi.

In other news, I decided to try and resurrect two rose bushes I have. Boneheaded me decided to put them in an area that didn’t get enough sunlight, and as expected, I’ve gotten approximately five blooms in the past five years. Today I decided to move them to a new flower bed we built this year. Full sun! Lots of water! And I even put some fish emulsion on them, which in theory, they like.

It’ll be interesting to see if they survive the move. Some plants do great when you move them, like day lilies. Every time I divide lilies, they love me for it. Other plants, like an inkberry holly that we moved a few months ago, curled up and died. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

Anyone have tips on growing good roses?
