I have a rose bed butted up to the west end of my home, which is mostly glass windows, which help with the heat. It has frozen the roses back to the ground every winter for the last 15 years, however last year, I placed a large flat rock in the N end of the bed and despite zero temps, this year it did not freeze my bushes! I keep them mulched with Juniper bark from our wood splitting pile. That said, my question is, what can I do to permaculture my rose bed to not only help it, but also to benefit us either medicinally or nutritionally? ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624216830313108673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204378405679327332.post-91176184445816720822015-04-16T17:50:30.884+00:002015-04-16T17:50:30.884+00:00I live in N CA, zone 6, temps from high 90s to sub...I live in N CA, zone 6, temps from high 90s to subzero.

Do you have more than the landscaping bio? I saw some fantastic rose hips in a flower arrangement that looked absolutely juicy, they were so plump. Probably some sort of floribunda or grandiflora or a species that has that sort of bunchy sets of flowers, but of course the person who had the arraingement had no clue as to specific variety. I have a nice Apothicary rose that has giant hips even if the flowers lack the perfume of the particuly fragrant varieties and the juicy abundance of the florist mystery roseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204378405679327332.post-20194337365141577302012-02-08T13:58:27.622-01:002012-02-08T13:58:27.622-01:00I have been wondering about including animals into...I have been wondering about including animals into my permaculture garden, there are deer here and I have sheep and chickens, is using the poop as far as I can go?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
