As I thought about it, the old Ford 1923 model T would look more natural if it were not in colour. And, I sure would not want to be the person who had to wash the windows in that house!

Bare root roses, what should I expect
Make sure you water them well while they are still young. They will stay quite small this year, depends a bit on the variety, be bigger next year and look like proper roses bushes the year after....
