A novice question

I just planted 2 wizard roses and 2 new guinea impatiens in my front bed. Someone at work told me that I would have to plant new ones every year. Is this true in zone 6? I guess it's not that big of a deal, just plant the 4 in the spring and enjoy all summer.


-Thanks



Why didn't you try the old guinea Impatiens instead?

Actually "New Guinea" Impatiens are commonly grown as bedding annuals and are replanted every year.

I don't know "wizard" roses, but roses survive zone 6 winters. This is not true of New Guinea hybrid impatiens. They freeze and will have to be replaced.
