Yesterday when we got home from the dump run, there was a package on the front porch. Pillows from Cop Car!!!
They go great with the Livingroom furniture!
Also yesterday (it was a busy day), I cleaned out the rugosa roses. I hadn't done that for a couple of years and there were a lot of dead canes for two reasons. The summer of 2011 I poisoned them - on purpose. the canes were invading past the rock wall, into the path to the dog pen. I spent years trying to dig out roots and canes, but to no avail. I finally got out some vine and stump killer to kill the canes closest to the wall. Then last winter was very rough on them (mild, but no snow to protect them), and which killed more plants.
In the picture you can see I really wiped out the closest portion - the portion further away was not done until today. Poor things will not bloom this year, and will loook like azz for at least a year, but they will eventually come back and be beautiful again.
I'm glad the pillows go with your decor; but, if they don't you have only yourself to blame since you placed "dibs" on the blue pillows!
As to the roses: Those are hardy flora. I still shake my head at all of the stone you folks moved/placed.

Yea! Pillows from Cop Car! How fortunate you are to have someone sending you lovely gifts. Way to go, Cop Car!
We had two rugosa roses on the property when we moved here. I made the mistake of letting Dear Husband prune the larger of the two a couple of years ago. It's still alive, but it's not making much of a come back. Maybe this year.

Those are such a lovely pillows, well using them at outdoors furniture looks good too. It seems like you are having a hard time at your garden bed, don't worry some day they will bloom and spread their beauty at your garden.
