Roses are fantastic, growing in so many different climates...

I don't think I've seen the reduction in size elsewhere, but it's been noticeable with the roses here. I haven't changed the feeding schedule so I do think it's the heat though I might be wrong... I hope your atriplex seeds for you; some of ours are apparently edible to livestock but that seems to be as far as it goes! They must not be as tasty as yours ;-) but at least they will grow in alkaline, salty soils! After some hunting around, I'm about 3/4 convinced that this one is A. elegans, variously listed as annual and perennial??!

I am curious about the atriplex as there is an annual atriplex in the UK with dark red leaves that is decorative but can be eaten like spinach, I have successfully grown it this year and I am hoping it will set seed a little. Your perennial one, which I have just googled, is very different as the annual one has red leaves. As Wild Daffodil said, the shape of the arrangement is somehow spot on - you have a very good eye, methinks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-48758344717591146212015-06-30T00:10:19.539-07:002015-06-30T00:10:19.539-07:00Your roses are lovely Amy.
