Re: How does your garden grow, FS?

[(Anonymous)]

Seconding violas and their cousins pansies. They do fine in shade and, if your summers are mild, will last a long while. In hot climates, they're planted in fall for winter & early spring color -- I've seen them shrug off snowstorms with no problem -- but in cool climates you can keep them going.

I know a bit about roses -- I had over 50 different antique/heirloom varieties in my yard before the combined heat/drought in summer 2010 killed a bunch of them -- and none of them really appreciate shade. There's a type of heirloom rose called "Hybrid Musks" that can take more shade than others, but most of them tend to be a tad ill-behaved, throwing their long, lanky canes around and sprawling a bit. They prefer warm climates -- I think Zone 7, maybe Zone 6, is their limit -- and tend to flower better in fall than in spring. Another thing to take into account -- deer like roses. On the plus side, though, planting something thorny might keep your neighbors' roaming kids out of your yard (where they don't belong). If the area you want to put one gets at least a half day of sun, I'd say go ahead and try it.
