Rosemary provides year round green in a Texas garden yet in spring there is the additional bonus of delicate mauve flowers. I've gone a bit overboard with rosemary plants this year as I've set aside one section of the extension to Al's garden for a rose garden. While at David Austin Roses during last year's trip to England, I saw that they suggested rosemary as  good companion plant to roses and then had that nugget of information verified when we went to Jennifer and Gordon's house and Gordon shared how he used rosemary under a rose to keep away pests. So, I've attempted to start a rosemary hedge around the plot that is reserved for my six yellow roses that should be arriving this month.  The rose emporium in Tyler, Texas ships David Austin roses to central Texas around this time of year. I've ordered three Golden Celebration and three Molineux and cannot wait to see if I can make some Wolverhampton roses thrive in Austin.
