Steve! Thank you for your loving kind words and your imploring! It is such a pleasure getting to know gardenbloggers like you and others, where you feel the joy and passion for what you do. Your posts and pictures showing your exellent landscaping work is very informative and inspiring. I see that you do excellent work for your clients – works that are very high Class compared to many other landscapers I have seen. Landscaping and Garden design is one part knowledge and craftmanship. That is the foundation that can be learned. The other part – Creativity and passion for what we do – can not. People either have it or not.
Roses are my favorite plants – and the truth is that they are very easy to grow if we choose the right cultivars, that suits the climate. Few plants bloom as much and as long as roses. And caring for them is not rocket sciences. And there are even thornless or almost thornless roses. Every garden should have some roses, but not every garden should be a rose garden. Knowing how much time clients are willing and able to spend caring for and maintaining their gardens, ultimately decides what plants we choose.

Thank you again for your kindness and enthusiasm Steve!

I have read Niels blog a few times and he sure does know his stuff on Roses! Getting to know the ins and outs of “rose care” is just as hard an any other plant, but the reward is amazing, plump juicy roses, there is nothing like it!
