8 antique rose bushes

ok, so.....i arrived home to a shipping parcel tenderly packed with bare-root own-root rose buses......some antique climbers, some english-bred-to-look-old....all to be just lovely.....the own-root descriptive is essential.....most commercially grown rose bushes are grafted....a desirable top grafted onto a hardy base.....which is usually a boring red rose named dr. huey, or worse....rosa multiflora...a rose that is such a pest in my home state of ohio that the osu school of agriculture has an office dedicated to it's eradication.....i now have rosa multiflora in my own yard...and every year i dig it up...and every year it pops in in more places than before...it suckers underground....and must just love our limestone base.......as i was digging up adequate places to plant these treasures....my across-the-street neighbor's gardener stopped to talk on his way home.....he and i are on waving basis......i wave to him as i go to work, and he waves to me as he goes home.....no clue what he does in between.....but my neighbor now has massive tulip plantings and his grass is picture perfect.....but on this day....as i yelled across the road about my new roses.....it dawned on me that he spoke no english....and so i waved toward my arbor rose.....and waved my arms to indicate that i looked forward to this year's bloom....and he waved his arms in return....letting me know that he looked forward to it as well.....ah well.....i did not get around to planting the wild larkspur......a co-worker liberated 9 plants from somewhere in lincoln county.....i am keeping them moist, but opted to wait until the cool of the morning to plant these tender plants.....i so love spring.....all is possible.....
