not really. whichever one or both that are useful to you. neither are legumes, bu either can add to the soil if the residue is incorporated into the soil.

Cindi What ever it is, thanks for posting. Roses don't survive in my cool garden without good roots. It's good to know Rainbow KO is one of these. I like it a lot too.

SHhhhh, Our weather here has been on the cool side, and many of my plants are just coming out of dormancy. MR is just waking up, no leaves yet, but I can see the tips glistening, and a very new inflo crowning on one of the tips. No new flowers to share yet, but I will post in a few months. Here are a few from last year. Hard to believe the last one is MR, but with heat and humidity, she changes so much. Do you see this in Florida, too? I got MR from Matthew as well. Like Laura said, he is wonderful to do business with.

i have a sneaking suspicion ... that it was a large transplant ... and the reason that it hasnt started colonizing yet.. is that it has not replaced the lost root mass ... and it may not flower until it does ... i also doubt the cement has anything to do with it.. other than watering issues ... hot dry ground ... and i finally suspect ... that once it gets going.. you will start finding escapees in the ground outside the surrounding cement ... and maybe even across the street ... lol ...
