Plant Portrait – Rosa glauca

Rosa glauca

Once known as Rosa rubrifolia … the flowers only appear for about a week but the hips at the end of the year are enormous.

R. glauca is a species rose, which is to say that the variety is unchanged from its original form in the wild. It is native to Europe and thrives in mountainous regions and in climates as frigid as Zone 2

Meet Scurry the Squirrel

Head Squirrel of the Garden Clean-up Team

Scurry the Squirrel – because he scurries and he is an Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and with a genus like Sciurius naming him Scurry just fits.

Despite being black(ish) he/she is nevertheless a Gray Squirrel, as are the rather less common cream coloured forms.
