Wow, is right! What a gorgeous haul of "rose porn", Jeri! All of them worthy of sharing on HMF! Your new camera is really enhancing your vision and skill!

Cymbelline is beautiful! They all are. Thank you for sharing :)

What a feast for the eyes and soul! I hereby grant you full permission to post as many pictures of your garden as you wish. :)
BTW, what are those lovely trees with the drapey branches on your second garden photo...are they California pepper trees?

Judi -- Yes. Those are California Pepper Trees (the species REALLY came from Argentina). We had them trimmed last year by some VERY good arborists, and they really helped them to look their best.

They look beautiful for sure. I have several of those growing in pots that I started from seed. I am hoping they survive the climate here as we're on the edge of their hardiness zone. I do see the occasional mature specimen around town and they are lovely. I think they accent your garden very nicely!

We planted them when we knew that the property next door was going to change hands, and we are thankful that we did.

Beautiful Jeri! Thank you for sharing.

WOW!!! Why won’t Houzz let me like your post? Like, like, like, like, like….! A gorgeous display of rare beauty. THAT is my idea of a rose garden, Jeri! Carol

Jeri - just gorgeous! Spring is just the best time of year, with all the natives blooming also. Ceanothus and Sage...even in a dry year.. We actually got 3/4'' of rain on Monday!

I need another rose like a hole in the head!

But I just asked Burling for her available rose list...

Benny Lopez is available. I have Grandmother's Hat and Barbara's Pasture (thanks to you) - what can you tell me about Benny Lopez? On HMF the comments mention RUST - which totally turns me off to him.

Do I "need" Old Town Novato also?

Many thanks for your expertise!

@judijunebugarizonazn8 if you actually plant the peppers, make sure they are FAR away from anything their roots can destroy. They are HIGHLY invasive. Also watch for the litter as very little survives its toxicity.

Thanks for the warning, Kim. In our area, I highly doubt they are apt to be invasive, but I do plan to plant them far enough away from my gardens that they won't be a threat. I have seen how they take over roadsides in California and, while I think they are beautiful there, I would never plant them here if they had the potential to become like the Mesquite trees in our area!

What a beautiful post. Thank you so much for sharing all of these photos😍

beautiful Jeri! thanks for sharing!

@roseseek and @judijunebugarizonazn8 - The pepper tree that is most invasive for me is the "Brazilian Pepper". The nearest one to my yard is several houses up the street, yet I keep getting seedlings starting to grow in my wetter areas. If i find them soon enough they are easy to remove. Unfortunately, I have one that has made it's home in my "Sombreuil/ Colonial White" rose that is on my hill. I keep cutting it back even under the soil but it comes back as strong as ever. I'm afraid to be too ruthless with it as to damage the rose's roots - aaargh!

I have two "California Peppers" planted on my hill and I much prefer their lax, weeping form to the Brazilian. Alas, they are not propagating themselves...

And - yes- I blame the BIRDS - eating the peppers and pooping the seeds in my yard!

Such beautiful blooms and garden, Jeri - I really enjoyed seeing this post today!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden, Jeri!

BirdsLove. I have grown "Benny Lopez" for at LEAST 20 years, and I have never seen rust on it.

Feel free to message me with other questions. I'm not stopping in here often, these days.

Jeri - I just noticed your pic of Bloomfield Abundance above is a red single. Is that the photo you intended to post? My BA only has double pink blooms. If it was a mistake, I would love to see a photo of your BA. If it was not a mistake, it is a mystery!

No, her fingers weren't "listening" to her. She meant Castro-Breen Red Climber which has been identified as Bloomfield Courage. https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.65133.1

Thank you roseseek - no longer a mystery.
