OK, if you are going to try to have a garden or rose bed, do NOT put bermuda back there - it will be in the garden and beds and you won't be able to keep it out. You will HATE it!
Put the roses in the sunny area you mentioned - they MUST have 6-8 hours of direct sun every day - they won't live nor bloom in shade. Knockout roses or antique roses are the easiest to grow. The hybrid roses get all sorts of diseases and are quite tedious to grow, but knockout roses and antique roses are very easy, as long as they are in the sun. Pay attention to the tag that lists their size (how tall and wide they will get). Some antique roses get VERY tall and wide. I don't think knockout roses get very big though.

Gayle, you are such a help!!! I really appreciate you!!!!
Could you come up here and help me get my yard figured out??? I can do the flowers but when it comes to grass......UGH!!!! If it weren't for crabgrass and weeds I'd have NOTHING in my yard!!!! Hubby figures that since he planted it once that it's good enough!!!......I will admit that I DO have a little bit of grass....but not much!!! |

LOL! Diana! I am of NO help about grass that grows in Kansas!!! I know bermuda will grow up there, but you know how I feel about bermuda.
 I think there is a type of zoysia grass and I think it is called zenith - that may grow well. Also tall fescue might do well up there but I'm not sure. Just poke around on the internet to find a grass that is not invasive - bermuda is definitely INVASIVE!
