		<description><![CDATA[I was first introduced to climbing &#8220;America&#8221; rose in garden guru, Pat Welsh&#8217;s garden years ago. I was drawn to its vibrant salmon-coral blooms, but it really is an ideal climbing rose for the home garden for many reasons. I now have a climbing &#8220;America&#8221; rose on the entrance gate to my kitchen garden.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite shrubs is the  perennial garden beauty, Matilija Poppy, Romneya coulteri. It blooms in May and seems to &#8220;smile sunshine&#8221; with its huge whimsical &#8220;fried egg-like&#8221; flowers sitting atop gray-green lobed foliage. It is wise to have ample room for Matilija Poppy in your garden as it can reach 6-8&#8242; tall, and [...]]]></description>

Just like its name, its pink-purple flowers resemble blooming sweet peas with pleasing grey-green foliage. Dwarf Sweet Pea Bush like sun, and moderate water. I consider it a [...]]]></description>

Former neighbors of mine had several one gallon Orchid Rockrose shrubs left over from a landscape installation, and asked me if I would like [...]]]></description>

Its striking deep pink fringe-like flowers have a sort of &#8220;flopsy mopsy&#8221; show-off demeanor.

This shrub originally from South Africa, explodes into bloom winter to spring, with showy pink delicate tiny flowers on wispy feather-like branches.
