The Guardian of The Grapes

April 19, 2011.

We plant roses at each end of the grapevine rows. It is believed that bugs would be attracted to the roses first before attacking the vines. By watching the roses for any bug attacks, we could then take precautions to prevent the bug from infesting the grapes.


Besides acting as "bug monitoring" means,
the roses also protect the main drip irrigation hose
from being ran over by vehicles.
And of course they are beautiful to look at.


Belinda's Dream Rose.
The drip irrigation also will water the roses.
