Those are so lovely, Matthew. Gold Medal looks wonderful, love it! Your Mme Isaac Pereire is a great size, with plenty of blooms. How long have you had it? They all look very nice! I am waiting with anticipation for mine to really begin blooming too.

Sara Ann the Mme Isaac Perriere is on that I inherited when I bought my house, my guess is that it was planted 20+ years ago, but I relocated it and this is the second spring in its current location. It is obvious that I am going to get a much more profuse bloom this year. Only 2 flushes last year, one in the Spring and a smaller one late summer. The perfume is unbelievable.
