Last winter, my kids saved a large number of
German Iris
rhizomes, plus three roses. The plants were in the garden of a
house which was being leveled. Jessica and Paul did not want the
flowers destroyed along with the house. Amid much mud, we dug up as
many as we could, brought them home, and planted them in our San
Jose back yard. The refugees not only survived their journey
but all are now in bloom. One rose had a tag (Sonia) and one
looks and smells just like a rose I already have (Chrysler Imperial)
but the smaller red rose is a mystery.
