Hi Mary Lu! LTNS- I need to get on over to the CG forum, I miss you all!

I'm a sucker for the pinks, every one of them grabs me - and your Green Snake is always such a treat to see! Funny Face is a real cutie pie too! I love that handpainted look.

oops...I should mention that there are several Morden Belle bushes in that bed. They were planted last year and doing great. Didn't want anyone to think that it was just one bush. Although in a few years.....

miss you too, Nancy! You should see how big Green Snake has gotten!(long, some canes are up to 15 feet long and I "shortened" some this spring too) I am waiting for it to be more fully in bloom before I take a "bush" shot of it.

I was trying to get Funny Face this year, but couldn't. What are your opinions on this rose?

I did get Morden Belle - amazing number of blooms!!

Love your pictures!

Carol, I love Funny Face. It is very hardy here. I have had it through 3 winters and only had some die back this year. And I blame that on the cold snap we had in April when everything was starting to "wake up". Even so it has rebounded beautifully. Repeat bloom on it is good. I always get compliments on it from visitors. The painted look of the blooms really makes it a stand out bloom. I guess I was lucky, a local greenhouse carried it the year I bought it. I have 3 bushes along a path. In this picture you can see 2 of the bushes. The 3rd one is behind the "tall" geranium.
