“No good in a bed,  but fine up against a wall."  This is the catalog description of a rose named for a former first lady.  Her reaction to it is priceless.

We’ve got the info on how and where to plant, prune, fertilize, water and care for the Queens of the Garden: Roses. Save money and up your rose game with our easy homemade fertilizer suggestions. We tell you about a thousand year old climbing rose that survived a WW2 bombing that destroyed the cathedral on whose walls it grew.  Plus:  do those Japanese beetle bags that attract and trap those pests work?  And in addition to all this great stuff we have eunuchs in tunics, Romans in togas, cheesy dribs and limequats.  Something for everyone, really. A whole episode about roses and we never use the word “prick”.  Go us.
