"  What can I do to my landscape that will attract more women to me?  Well, I don&amp;#039;t know what you look like, and I don&amp;#039;t know who you are, but if you&amp;#039;re still sporting a Loverboy concert T-shirt, landscaping can&amp;#039;t help you. But if that&amp;#039;s not the case, your answer is roses. Plant roses on your property. A woman is definitely going to notice, and right off the bat, she&amp;#039;s going to know that you care about a plant of such beauty. My dentist, for example, has roses outside his office, and women come in all the time and ask about the roses--what kind they are, where he bought them. It&amp;#039;s amazing. Instant conversation. My choice for a no-fuss, easy-to-find rose for a guy is one called a Knock Out rose. It&amp;#039;s compact, about three feet high and wide, and easy to take care of. And that&amp;#039;s a great name. Now, if you want to get really serious, go with the David Austin line of roses, which have the form and fragrance of antique roses with the performance of modern hybrids. One more thing: There&amp;#039;s this guy Steve I know \u2014 do you remember Jaws? Quint, the Robert Shaw character? This guy Steve is the Quint of New Jersey horticulture. He&amp;#039;s an old salt, rough exterior \u2014 and really knows his plants. I spoke to him about this question, and he starts laughing and says, &amp;quot;Plant a red-hot poker, or a burning bush.&amp;quot; Which is funny, but I say stick to the roses.
