Let me tell you about mine.
Years ago, I moved and acquired an enormous Knock Out® shrub rose that a previous owner had planted.
This type is often used commercially, and I wasn’t thrilled at first, because it’s non-native and doesn’t attract local pollinators.
It was a dense thicket of branches over five feet tall and equally wide, and being only a little over five feet myself, it was a force to be reckoned with.
I plunged in, literally, up to my ears in branches, with thorns pricking my sweater. Soon I had an airy, three-foot shrub with gracefully tapered branches that is virtually trouble-free, and blooms three times between spring and the first frost.
The first time I saw the sparrows sitting in it waiting for their turns in the birdbath, I knew this was a plant I could love.
