    There are 2 types of purple plants in the photo. The one with long purple spires is a salvia. The other is a lavender. Both can easily be found at garden centers and DIY stores.

    It's definitely Salvia, possibly Walker's Low Nepeta(catmint), and the yellow plant is too tall to be creeping Jenny. I would guess it's Agastache 'Golden Jubilee' or Nepeta 'Limelight' perhaps. Seasonally it could be cushion spurge. You could achieve the look with Lavender as well. I don't know if Lady Mantle would tolerate the sun/dry/heat combo in that spot.

    In a larger spot, Bluebeard and Spirea could achieve a similar look.

    For a part shade spot, Agastache 'Black Adder' and Duetzia 'Chardonnay Pearls' would work well with Hydrangea in the backdrop.

    Hope this helps!

    The salvia could be 'May Night'; it looks just like the variety I have in my yard. Tough plants, great for harsh areas like front walks and rock beds.

    Do you have the name of the roses?

    Roses look like Old English Roses, look up David Austin , they do lovely old varieties..maybe they are Geoff Hamilton or Constance Spry? It's hard to see in the pics and that's my best guess:)

    They do appear to be an Old English Rose or Tea rose or somethign along those lines. Easier options to achieve the look would be Apple Blossom Carpet Rose, Nearly Wild Rose, Carefree Delight Rose, and Blushing Knockout Rose. Even a classic Pink Knockout Shrub Rose would give a similar look.

    definitley NOT tea roses. These are David Austin Old English Roses for sure. There are a ton of them this shade though, you will have too look up david Austin roses and browse. The David Austin catalog is stunning anyways
