Many are broken, and others mark plants that have disappeared. A shame, because a lot of trouble is taken to keep many varieties of roses in good order, and rose fanciers will want to know their names.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-44178472137872961652017-03-12T16:50:31.786+00:002017-03-12T16:50:31.786+00:00Sometimes plants wander or self-seed.

They are among the first plants to flower in Spring, and I grow lots of them as they are so cheering after a long dark winter. The thalictrum comes up later in the year, so it may be in the soil lying dormant at present.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683657915069578017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-71838707650417243072017-03-11T19:59:18.472+00:002017-03-11T19:59:18.472+00:00Never believe plant labels!!
