Protecting the Indian Summer

We planted a dozen or so knockout roses in a circle around my patio in front of my house. My friend Jon passed by the garden center in April and found these yellow flowers called Indian Summer. He brought them home and wondered if they would even grow.

We found the cranes at another store and placed them in the rose garden. Look at what we got from those wilted Indian Summer plants! What a show we had all summer. They just bloomed and bloomed with little care and with the drought. We watered them some, but not a lot, and the deer did not seem to like them as much the cranes.
