Roses Soar to New Heights When Teamed-Up with Native Foliage
After removing an expansive Bermuda grass lawn in favor of a wide variety of native foliage, the Moore’s collection of specimen roses thrive. Meandering trails encourage wanders of the space. The distinctive fragrance of California sages as well as the roses and orange blooms scent the space.
DiAnna Moore used to be known as
Los Angeles Times, 2018
the Rose Lady. “I had a carpet of red roses
in my front yard,” Moore says of her Northridge garden.
“We tried to keep them alive, along with our
Bermuda grass,” all while trying to adhere
to water conservation rules in place at the time.
It was difficult.
