Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate your expertise, and always hope that you'll be reading when I've done a garden post, just in case you have something to add.
"Design" is rather too strong a word for the garden at the moment. So as long as I don't do lasting harm to the bushes, I won't worry too much about the rest. They probably will be tall -- these bushes are quite old, and some of the canes were running to 8' tall before I had a whack at them. I think that particular cultivar has got to have been bred for bouquets, because the stems are enormously long.
Lots of flowers would be lovely -- I'll hope for that -- but as you say, there's always next year, and in the mean time, I'm learning. I suspect that I should get off and figure out what the organic thingy that you can spray on dormant roses to fight black spot is, because they've had a hell of a case this past year and I'd like to get it under control.
