So, my neighbor's yard is full of natives (90% natives, in fact.) However, it's come to my attention that they actually have multiple roses from David Austin. On top of that, they revealed to me the other day that most of their seeds were not collected locally (and therefore are not local ecotypes.) Now, I understand that local ecotypes can be hard to find in a suburban hellscape, but they really should have looked harder. And the roses are just unforgivable. I'm considering removing them from our gardening club until these issues are resolved.
