Woops, I meant to post that in the gallery...will start a thread there. My apologies.

We have over 100 roses here (okay, so we are rose freaks), and we have cottage garden flowers and plants in what I call "the picket zone". We have a white spindle picket fence DH and I built that has beds on three sides about 18 inches deep. I love all kinds of English garden/Cottage garden flowers- always coming home with more!

To see pics of our roses and recent garden landscaping projects, ck out my Picture Trail:

You have the most beautiful roses, and your album of them is really impressive. You must spend every waking hour in your gardens. Just lovely.

Wigard, I think this is the link that the Rose Forum may be missing. At one time, his garden tour was indexed on the front page of the Atlanta Rose Society's web pages; no more. I searched around until I found at least some of his photos in this article. The article is a wonderful resource, too.

IMHO, this is the most outstanding front yard featuring roses that I've ever seen, set off by that lush green lawn and paths.

Thanks for sharing that link Nell. You're right this is one outstanding yard and some beautiful pairings of roses/flowers/clematis. I just did a look at the photos so I want to go back now and read the article. Thanks again.

sorry, I tried to post in the gallery , but messed it up. here is my front yard garden 2 years ago. jody

I have tons of flowers in my front yard. We had an area where it was bordered on all sides by cement, the sidewalks and driveway. So I decided that grass wouldn't grow very well there so I dug it up and it is now a garden. I have strawberries, flowers, herbs and some peonies in the garden bed. I like the look when you walk up to our house of the flowers and plants. I will take a pic if I get a chance of the garden now.
