On the last Tuesday of August, a vehicle pulled into Providence Farm in McLeansville, North Carolina. Joy Combs had been expecting these guests—they were from the Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue (CGPR), and they were there to drop off a five-year-old Anatolian Shepherd named Max. Combs planned to work with the rescue to evaluate his behavior with farm animals and help place him in an appropriate home.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to members of the Vancouver Rose Society. It was really refreshing to see their long and continuing support and promotion of our most iconic flowering shrub.
As the nature and size of gardens have changed over the years, so, too, have roses. The well-known and much-loved older varieties, many of which have remarkable fragrance, are still with us, and as the result of ongoing breeding, many excellent new varieties are being offered each year. Roses, especially those with beautiful flower form and perfume, are still finding their way into many gardens.
There has, however, been a shift in breeding to develop roses which are hardier, very disease tolerant and more continuous flowering.
Shrub roses, also known as landscape roses, describe roses that provide long-term colour from spring into fall. These are being used, more and more, in parks and public gardens, for commercial plantings, and even on medians along our roads and highways.
Many new varieties, which are both heat and drought tolerant, are being developed and, once established, they require minimal maintenance. They are also great pollinator plants providing both pollen and nectar over a long period of time. Most are hardy to Zones 4 and 5, so need a little winter protection, and all of them have varying degrees of disease resistance. I’ve noticed, too, that as a rule, they are more compact, growing in the 1-1.5-metre range, which allows them to be used as borders and low screens.
Their best quality is in providing vibrant colour in a landscape

4 Backsplashes That Designers Say Are Outdated
There’s no understating the importance of a kitchen backsplash. Not only is a backsplash practical—sparing your bare walls from spaghetti sauce splatters—but it sets the tone for your kitchen’s personality. Think of it as an opportunity to flex your design skills, whether that means including a jolt of color, choosing an unconventional material, or sticking to a classic-as-can-be style. There’s a caveat, though: if you veer too trendy or too conventional, a backsplash can quickly look outdated. To spare yourself from inevitable regret, we asked three interior designers for their honest take on backsplashes they’re sick of seeing. Warning: controversial opinions ahead. Read on to learn which popular backsplashes they think need to retire, so you can invest in a conversation piece (not a controversy) that you’ll love for years to come.
