Thanks for the rose pictures. I love the velvety blooms on Niobe, too.

Wow, I love the Honey perfume plant. That is one pretty girl. I've marked that one down. I can just see it next season sitting next to Tropicanna.

Nice gardens............you should be proud.

Your roses look beautiful! I especially love your Mr. Lincoln. This is one of my favorite roses. Can I come take a dip in your pool? Julia Child is one I'm interested in next year. How do you like her?

Jen

I love your garden. Your pool is spectacular. And, did you paint the pots? They look great, too.
Oh, love your roses, of course!
Kathy

Very nice! I'm quite jealous - a pool surrounded by roses!!

My Honey Perfume has always been yellow - but then mine are in full sun. I like your HP's color better than mine!

Carol

Sweet!

Can I come and walk in your backyard? So inviting.
Everything looks simply beautiful.
As much as its cold right now in my neck of the woods, I would love to come and take a dive in your pool.

Mr. Lincoln is lookin really good!

Carol, it's the cooler weather that changed the color of HP, it hardly gets any sun at all now but in the summer it gets about 10 hours of sun a day, it's yellow.

Kathy, yes I spray painted the pots with Rustoleum for plastics, it works great.

Jen, Julia Child is good, she's clean and blooms all the time, I can only detect scent in the morning though. I got her at Lowes and looked really bad, but look at her now. :)

Y'all are welcome to come and swim, if you can take cold water! It was nice in the summer, the pools temp was hot, like swimming in a bath tub. :)

Thank you all for the compliments. Have a great day!! :)

What wonderful pictures - I really enjoyed that walk! really love what you've done with those pots - so nice to have them matching ... all my pots are different colours and shapes - nothing matches!! thanks for sharing.

You have done an amazing job with your garden, love the color of the pots, the roses are beautiful.

Your backyard is very lovely and very inviting. I love the way you have it laid out and your roses are all so healthy and beautiful. That's interesting on the crepe myrtles. I planted them here along the fence line because I've got a two story house behind me. And at my last house in the valley I brought the fence down with my mini climbers, so I thought this time I'd do really tall crepe myrtles. Think I made a mistake after hearing you....

Anyways, Msjam, you have a really done a beautiful landscaping job with your back yard and all your roses and the pots and your accent lighting and trees. I bet you have a lot of fun entertaining out there. Leslie
