How many plants is this? About how wide does it grow?

[@susisiva2551]

Wow so pretty. Can you please share your fertilization schedule and how do you avoid insects like thrips. I loved your Eden video and bought an Eden this year. Thrips love all my roses especially Eden ☹️. Would like to know your trips and tricks for maintaining this beautiful garden.

Thank you, I am using fish fertilizer this year. Last year I was using miracle gro fertilizer. I use them almost every month in small amount and normal every day watering. For bugs, I use neem spray. That’s it. 😊

Did you plant the shrub and climber at the same time? Wondering how tall the shrub will grow compared to the climber. Are they both bare roots?Please do a garden tour. Would love to see your plants.

I’m sure you will love it. Scent of this rose is exceptional. Just to let you know shrub rose can be grown in to climber form as well if you want to..just don’t trim them too hard. Happy gardening!! 😊
