Yay! again, please tell us who are the roses in the first pic above - there are so many of them! For clarity, perhaps you could tell us in order, and which side you are starting on. So excited that you have been able to post these pics - your "one bloom of one rose" pics are gorgeous, but I like also seeing the entire plants with each other - these pics are perfect!

I especially like the first one above - just the kind of intermingling I love.

You grow so many roses I'm not familiar with. If you have more photos, please, please share.

These are terrific, Jeri. Your property looks gorgeous.

In the springtime, Sheila. But as our climate has altered, our summer garden is browner and sparse of bloom.

I think it's a good thing that we have cacti, epicacti, and Plumerias.

Jeri - thank you for naming all of the roses - I think that is good when it can be done, so others can see the roses in a garden context. I forget the story behind De La Vina Mystery - can you tell us? It is very appealing to me for some reason.

Jackie -- "De la Vina Mystery" was so named because it was found on De la Vina St., in Santa Barbara. It was growing out the TOP of an 8-ft-tall Eugenia hedge, in front of a Craftsman House. Though it had grown tall, seeing the sun, it appears that "De la Vina Mystery" is 'La Reine'. It had probably been there before the Santa Barbara Earthquake caused great destruction in 1925.

So interesting, all these levels. With something different on each...

I'm not normally a dog person, but your dogs are adorable - but - big.

Gorgeous pictures, Jeri. Thanks for posting them!

And growing other sorts of plants that shine while roses are "resting" is a Good Thing.

What wonderful views you have created, Jeri! I love seeing all of these healthy roses allowed to do their thing and build size. Gorgeous.
