Gardeners have always been advised to plant hybrid tea roses with the bud graft above the soil. This is generally the way all grafted trees and bushes are planted. The point of grafting is to give a hybrid plant, that may not have the best root system, a better chance of survival by giving it the root system of one of its sturdier cousins.

The perennial plant of the year for 2012 is Brunnera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost’. It is a patented sport of Brunnera marcrophylla ‘Langtrees’. This plant is familiar to garden club members as it grows prolifically in John Cozen’s garden and he has been most generous in sharing it.

Winter is a good time to think about ways of making the coming growing season easier on both backs and knees. Certainly, one of the most onerous tasks in the gardener’s repertoire is pulling weeds. Anything that keeps weeds from taking over a flower bed or border, foundation planting or other cultivated area has got to be a good thing, so perhaps we should start considering green mulches.
