I too am wondering what becomes of a garden when the gardener moves on or passes away. My mother moved from her home nearly 3 years ago and I am afraid to go back to see what changes the new resident has made. Hopefully, some of her blooms provide mystery and delight, so survive.

In fact, Rugosas should never be sprayed. They can't handle it. I think it might even be 'Therese Bugnet' which sounds like an heirloom rose, but was actually hybridized in 1950 (I believe).

I collect old roses and they are the best in our hot humid summers. The books sound like fun...i love a good mystery.

Someone told me it was a rootstock from a grafted rose, but I don't care. It's pretty and it's hardy, as you say.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-19209565869595311082014-04-24T07:35:46.173-04:002014-04-24T07:35:46.173-04:00I think I will read this book.

But I'll add this one to my Christmas list. :) In answer to your question about what happens to gardens when the owner leaves, I tend to take a lot with me, to the annoyance of removal firms!
