Fantastic shots of your roses/lily hcarnevale! Wow!

You have some nice ones there. Some are not posted often. I am curious about the white edging in the last picture. What is it made from? Are there lights attached to it, or are they in front of or next to it?

Lots of beautiful Austins! They are all lovely, and look so healthy.

It is actually a raised garden bed that I made out of treated wood and stained white. It is L shaped and wraps around the back side of the garage. The white things your are seeing are just some finials that I added to make it a little more fancy schmancy, although changing them to lights might be an idea to consider.

I actually built quite a few things out of treated wood last year for my house and garden.

The trellis on the front of the house.

The trellis over my garage.

And a couple of trellises on the side of my house that have baby climbers growing on them.

I do have actual edging in the backyard though. It is continuous concrete curbing that I had installed last year.

Wow! A very pretty collection and I loved the lily!

I love your edging in the last picture!! That's gorgeous!!

Your Charles Darwin is a stand out to me!! How is the fragrance?

I can't believe how dark and vivid your delphinium is!!

Gorgeous roses!

You roses are great and I must say I like the picture of your hostas - Looks so lush!

I loved the contrast of Winchester cathedral and that purple delphinium. Also really like all the wood structures you made. Did you find a plan for the one over the garage? And the wood trim on it looks so nice too.

Thanks everyone. I purchased my house 4 years ago post divorce..... The backyard had the large tree and that was about it. I basically had a blank slate. It has been a work in progress. I am always adding more and rearranging things. I can't believe how big the hostas are now and they really need to be divided soon. As far as the wood structures go, I looked around on Pinterest to get ideas of what I liked. I knew I wanted to add a trellis over my garage and there were many options. I found a pic of what I liked and my Dad came down and helped me put it together. The hardest part was the side brackets, but he did those for me. The trellis on the front of the house was from a plan I found on a blog that another woman did on her house, although mine was a lot bigger. It took 3 of us to stand the thing up. Most of my neighbors are retired couples and were not used to seeing a woman running around with power tools. They think it is pretty cool now though after seeing all of the changes I've made to the home, and I share a lot of flowers with them, especially when it is Lily time....

that tranquility almost looks like a gardenia sitting there!

Beautiful pictures and yard! I love whatcha've done with the place! :)

hcarnevale, I would never have said that your garden was only 4 years old - it looks so established! I must say, you (and your Dad) have done wonders!!! It looks fantastic - you can be proud of yourself!

What a beautiful place you have there! It is so special that you made those garden structures yourself. I wish I am a handyman and has a green thumb like you. Your roses are gorgeous and so healthy! I really enjoy your pics and hope that you will continue to share your wonderful garden with us.

It all looks very nice. The hosta bed by the tree looks quite peaceful. Do you have some coral bells there with not green leaves?

There is 1 burgundy coral bell under the tree, but I do want to add some additional brighter colored ones along the border. I do actually have a few bright peonies in there too, but they are done blooming so you can't see them.

Wow, you have so many beautiful roses. Love the Carding Mill and that trellises.

Beautiful curve on the lush hosta bed. Gorgeous Austins. Charles Darwin is new and hasn't bloomed. I'm glad to see it's a beauty.

I agree. Your landscape looks like its been established for much longer than four years. You are very talented. I love all your roses and other plants. Beautiful job!!! You should be very proud. Judy

You have done an outstanding job! And your roses are so lush and healthy. I love the Austin roses are yours are lovely.

Thanks everyone. It is all still a work in progress. I'm still adding and rearranging.

Your garden is so beautiful. What part of the country are you in? I wish I could grow austins like that!!

I'm in Kenosha, WI. Zone 5. I have a short growing season and brutal winters. We have had a ton of rain and cool weather so far this summer. I'm not complaining because I know how much the gardeners in California would love my rain. I wish I could send them some....

your garden is beautiful thanks for sharing!
