Camas. The apartment building came with 10 of the biggest rose bushes I've ever seen. I don't really know what to do with the things. Last fall, the neighbor lady told me to cut them down to 2 or so feet above the ground so I did. I spent the winter looking at rose sticks, hoping it was the right thing to do. Good thing I did too. Some of them are now 5 feet tall! There are lots of different whites and reds, but my favorite are these fiery orange and yellow ones. I go out most evening to cut the faded blooms. I try to channel Gram when I do, she'd know where to cut! At first, I was afraid I'd use them all up and we'd be left with rose sticks all summer but they just keep coming.
