Roses do well here. We have some in our back yard, inherited from previous owners, and they bloom like crazy even though we haven't maintained them yet. In Oregon, we had over a hundred rose bushes, all of different colors. I would take a half dozen in every day and give them to the ladies at work. My wife never minded. Powdery mildew was a problem in Oregon, but does not seem to be so here. Big difference in humidity, is probably the reason. Our little gardens produce blooms of all the bulb flowers and other flowers from the first days of spring to the last days of fall. One time we came home after a trip, and I thought the flowers were going to take over the driveway. It's the funniest thing, we have sweet pea and other volunteers coming up through the gravel. Flowers seem to really like this area. I wish I could say the same for the lawn. Last year I had a pet wooly mullein. They are really an exotic weed, but this one sprouted in the most unlikely place. I nursed it along and watched it for two years, and it was the biggest mullein that I ever have seen. Then one day it fell over and died. Plop. Mine was much bigger than this one. plants.usda.gov
