[Sca-cooks] Roses to grow and cook with

[Pixel, Goddess and Queen]

Here in Minnesota (zone 3/4) I have had a Rosa x alba growing next to the 
driveway for five or six years and it's just thriving away, no special 
care in the fall and winter or anything. If it's happy it WILL spread, 
just so you're warned. Slowly, but it spreads.

Note: don't plant shrub roses and raspberries next to each other, it makes 
picking raspberries somewhat...challenging...sometimes. Yeah, this 
probably qualifies for a Mishaps with Margaret ribbon.

YIS,

Margaret FitzWilliam
