Plus, Grumpy chooses an iconic rose as the plant of the week.
Is there any chance they will bloom here?"
But the plants don’t like the Souths hot summers.
And they’re not that cold hearty here either.
So you’re going to have to plant new ones every year.
It’s a real true Southern icon.
But they also grow inland very well too.
It’s a good plant because it’s evergreen.
And it has no stickers, so you don’t have to worry about that part.
And it also is very disease-resistant and you don’t have to spray it.
Don’t plant it on your dog house if you ever want to see your dog now.
It blooms in the spring.
That means it blooms on the growth that it made the year before.
That’ll give it plenty of time to make flower buds for next spring.
