What a nice looking garden you have. I really like Touch of Class, that's a really good looking rose, all of your roses are beautiful actually and your flowers are too. Do you find your cats gardening with you? Every time I dig a hole and go get a plant or get ahead of myself with bulbs I look behind myself and one of my cats has decided to help themself to the hole I've dug or the dog decides that digging a hole looks like fun also:) Thanks for sharing your photos, I really enjoying looking at everyone's pics.

Jen you have a beautiful garden - I love all your flowers - but being a cat person, I specially like Max up the tree and adore my namesake April - though I spell mine differently! she's beautiful :o)

Jen,
I wonder how many of us rose (and flower lovers in general) are also cat lovers too. Count me in (we have 3 >^..^Might be a fun new forum topic (vs. dog lovers etc.) Last year I planted 5 Orienpet lilies that look just like your unnamed oriental lily. Does the name Orania sound familiar? All of your gardens must be gorgeous! Phyl

Jen...
Lovely roses, esp. Chris Marlowe...and all your plants. But Max & April stole my heart!! I just LOVE them...they are so beautiful and sweet-looking.
I have 4 kitties (or you could say, THEY have ME!)...all extremely spoiled and well-deserving of it. Shasta & Lily are girls and are indoor-only; my boys are Nemo & Cosmo and they are in and out. Nemo is my big boy (18 lbs. of pure love!) and is my gardening buddy. Wherever I am, there you will find Nemo...even as I'm digging rose holes he will be IN the hole checking it out!
I LOVE cats and think that yours are adorable...thanks for sharing them with us!

I really like the colors on your Touch of Class... Mr. C. Marlowe is very nice, too. And gotta love Max and April, they look like they could be brother and sister!:)

Your Christopher Marlowe sure is a good looking rose. Nice perennials too. Can't grow astilbe here, too bad because your's looks great. I keep telling myself I need to get a Siloam Double Classis daylily. It's not easy to find the smaller growing ones with as much quality as that one.

Thank you for the kind comments everyone. My kitties are so spoiled, they are my children. Max loves to lay on his back, feet in air and get his belly rubbed. They do look somewhat alike, and get along very well. Both love to be right on top of everything I'm doing. Celeste, I see you have named your cats after flowers mostly : ) How cute. Chris Marlowe is one of my best roses for scent, health and hardiness, and ever changing blooms. SDC daylily bloomed its heart out all summer. TOC I would recommend to anyone, really great rose. Phlyrae, I think you're right on the lily. Thanks!

Jen

Beautiful pics Jen! Love that HIGH SOCIETY! But, I have to admit, the kitties are my favorites!

I love your pictures.

looks like everyone benefits from your gardening. You certainly can grow beautiful roses, and all your other flowers are lovely too. It is amazing how curious our furry friends are ....they love to watch--or help in a manner of speaking-- us garden.
