I especially love the shot with the roses on the wall and your arbor.

SO beautiful, Aimee. I find myself very excited about your garden. You've already accomplished so much and I love your choice of roses, and can't wait what this will look like in a year or two. Looked at the grass and thought how lovely some large tea roses would look there instead.....

Hi Aimee: I love all your roses, esp. the Alchemyst. I have alkaline clay too, great stuff for many petals-roses.

Thanks for those great pics. I enjoy those blooms!

Beautiful, AimeeKitty! Look at the Alchemist! I just planted a little band, it's difficult to believe that maybe someday it will look like that. Just incredible :)

OMG...Your Alchymist is gorgeous, I love that rose! And I wish the pictures of La France were "scratch 'n sniff"...it's like a cabbage sculpted from strawberry ice cream!

thanks so much you guys! it's really fun to be able to share the photos with you afterall you guys helped me choose them 4 years ago (yikes!).

They're finally starting to look more full this year but I really wish SOMETHING would get bigger along that back fence. There's a Lady Banks which hasn't done anything for 4 years. :\ I've already complained on here about it once haha. Oh well...
I put in some more evergreen shrubs and vines a month or so ago so I'm hoping they will grow a lot this year and help me get some filled in areas of the garden and some height.

a lot of the roses smell really good. It's a pleasure to go out for a little while in the mornings as a break for me.

I love the colors in your garden shot with the wall. That shade of pink is so lovely there.

That is so pretty, and I love your brick wall! My favorite is The Alchemist...I've always loved its form and color. I have one, but its still in a one gallon pot from Long Ago Roses, so it needs to grow out quite a bit before it goes in the ground. One day though....

Oooo, that's sooo pretty. And that shot along the brick wall struck me, too. It's very beautiful, has great sweep & depth, going back to that white arbor. Congratulations.

Oh my....just lovely. You have done a wonderful job. I would love to join you in an early morning walk. I bet it would be heaven! Thanks for sharing. Lesley
