Well, there you go. I had heard about the acidity debate with Pine Needles as well. Anyway, looks like they will be just fine for your Garden Kevin. Be sure to mix some greens like lawn clippings in with them as well. The result will be an incredibly nutrient rich soil.

And I really recommend that book that I mentioned above. I just finished reading it last night and it has the diiferent soil requirements for a host of plants/gardens. Can't remember what it said for Roses but, it should be an easy book to attain.
