Rose Shoots
Today I decided that the rose bush was really dead and I started to dig around it to dig it up. I almost dug a moat around it and was trying to pry the root loose, without any success, when I discovered live shoots coming up from some places near the root. So I stopped prying at it and filled in the moat with new soil. I hope that I didn't destroy it with my zeal to get rid of it. My back door neighbor, Carolyn, told me that what I did will probably be really good for it.
Meanwhile, the thistle has been hanging in there, sort of. The very center of it looks like it could possibly be still alive.
