The rose that began a revolution. When Simplicity was introduced in 1979 by Jackson & Perkins breeder extraordinaire Bill Warriner, it changed the way American gardeners thought about growing roses. Instead of a spindly, fussy shrub that would set a few beautiful blooms each year in the isolation of the rose garden, Simplicity brought the majesty of the rose into the world of the hardworking hedge. This densely branched, wonderfully healthy hedge rose showed gardeners that roses could be grown in the crowded border and treated like any other sun-loving shrub.Simplicity Hedge Rose has many merits, but its healthy foliage must come first on anyones list. Disease resistant and very tolerant of heat and humidity, these leaves keep their light-green appeal right through the worst summer weather. They stand up to pests and still look great in fall. Simplicity Hedge Rose was the precursor of todays rough-and-ready shrub roses, except that this lovely rose threw double blooms and fragrance into the bargain.Descended from the classic Iceberg, Simplicity Hedge Rose is very vigorous, reaching 4 to 5 feet high and up to 3 feet wide. Simplicity Hedge Rose is made for dense planting, forming a living wall of lush greenery. Dont hardscape the sunny gardenhedge it with this remarkable rose.And the flowers are as spectacular as the habit. Soft pink, fully double, and lightly fragrant, they arise several times a season in great waves, the heaviest bloom in late spring or early summer but intermittent flowers continuing until autumn in many climates. And again, the key is easythese flowers need no spraying or disbudding or other special treatment to reach their full 3-inch size. They appear in clusters that keep setting new buds for weeks, so the garden stays colorful all season.Simplicity Hedge Rose introduced the concept of the hedge rose to gardeners everywhere, and Simplicity Hedge Rose is still among the most popular varieties. Give this classic a place of honor in your landscape, and Simplicity Hedge Rose will demonstrate its remarkably low maintenance growth for years to come.

Read this post if you want to know - How to build a ground level deck (10 x 12 to be precise) and - how much would it cost vs contracting the project to a contractor? First, lets start with the most important part -cost, effort and then the detailed steps of completing this project. Note: Before you start working on your deck, make sure you have your HOA approval to build the deck. Cost: If you build the deck yourselves - About $500 on Material expenses A contractor would normally charge you anywhere between $1,500 to $2,500. This may or may not include material cost. So, if you have some time, interest and are eager to work on your own project then you could save yourselves atleast $1,500. In this economy this isn't a bad deal at all. Break down - refer to sections below. Effort: Easy. I built the deck with some help from my family members. So what I am saying is based on my personal experience, it is easy. Nothing to be scared about. Details about completing this project: Coming soon Step 1- Plan where you deck will come. Roughly mark your plan on ground or just have an idea of where the deck would come. Step 2- You need a base. I bought four concrete blocks, quick set concrete and 4x4 post bases (4). Put the post base in the concrete block in the center, mix the concrete (this was the hardest task in my deck construction) and pour it into the concrete blocks. Let is set for 48 hrs. [Refer to below image to get an idea of how concrete block with post base look like] Step 3 - Dig holes to place these concrete blocks. Hole should be less or about 1 feet from the edge of the wood.
