Roses are beautiful, but when it comes to rose bushes, there definitely can be too much of a good thing. That’s what I discovered at our new house. And in my latest eHow article, Fall is the Time to Transplant Rosebushes, I’m talking all about the 15 rosebushes I had to deal with.
I’m not sure if the people who lived here before us got a sweet deal on miniature pink roses or what, but there are just a few too many of them in my new garden for my taste. So my goal for this week is to dig up, transplant, and give away some of the 15-plus rosebushes that are currently residing in my backyard garden.
But figuring out the right time to transplant rosebushes can be confusing if you’ve never transplanted them before. For starters, rosebushes need to be transplanted while they’re dormant, to reduce shock to the plant. Read the full article HERE.

Oh, I can’t stand rose bushes. The house we bought has about 8 plants in the front yard. I am planning to dig them up and throw them away. I have procrastinated because I haven’t a plan of what to plant in their place. In the mean time, those darn bushes are getting pruned smaller and smaller and smaller. 🙂

Ha! I hear ya. They are pretty high maintenance, no doubt.

Craigslist! I dig, post, and next morning what ever I have dug is gone! Can’t believe how much I’ve moved out this way. My can’t stand is someone else’s’ joy.

Genius way to get someone else to do the haul away work! 🙂
