Thank you! I love garden design.
Surprisingly, there were 2 roses that somehow survived: a climber that I rescued early on and is doing ok in a planter and a miniature climber which is practically invasive and I'm struggling to eradicate.
I'm keen for soil too but I recently learned something interesting about native plants and these poor soils of ours: I'll say something about that on the garden question. It's also true that entire ecosystems are built around the rocks here.
