Yes the yellow and white is the type we have. We have given up trying to eradicate it and are just trying to contain it.
Your rose is very pretty. I lost a couple over the winter as well as 2 hydrangeas. Odd since our winter was so mild.

I found my Veronica Royal Candles but lost an aster and 2 cardinal flowers. I think it's odd, too. When I set them out I was careful to see they had enough water until frost.

My roses in front are so gorgeous, never bloomed like that before. Some I shovel pruned parts came back, can't dig as deep as I used to.

I'm sorry you're fighting that honeysuckle, thank heaven I didn't try to start one of those. I thought there were some honeysuckles that grow on bushes like pink. I think those might be ok and smell heavenly. Maybe they are something else.

Sorry about your hydrangeas. I think they do well in shade on the north side of the house as well as part sun, maybe full. Maybe it was the freezing and thawing that threw the plants off. My roses are blooming about a whole month early this year.

Most people on here do vegetable gardening. I've done that in the past with mixed results. It takes experience.
