Wow 🥰gorgeous! The obelisk showcasing florentina is fantastic

I was especially admiring your terracing. What a lovely garden to showcase your beautiful roses in!

Lovely!! My faves are the first pink one and Lyda Rose!! :) :)

Wonderful @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA ! Thank you for showing your Florentina, she's a beauty! Roberto Alagna is one of my favorites too, I love his sunset colors!

What a beauty of nature, these flowers provide immense comfort to the eyes and heart.

Thanks y'all! I was a bit worried about Florentina this spring since she did not give a single bloom last year (her first year in the grown). I thought I had another Madam Anisette in my hands. I can only deal with one diva in the garden.

This morning

I love your terraces, it really showcases your beautiful roses.

Hopefully next year I can grab a Roberto Alagna.

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw Thank you! I hope you do get Roberto. I love it. I don't even really like HTs but Roberto has it all: fragrance, health, good rebloom and beautify, beautiful blooms.

Gorgeous!! :) :) What a delight to see your beautiful roses!

Thank you!

Benjamin Britten and a few garden shots

Darcey Bussell

Beautiful, Mas! Almost tempted to pay you a visit! :)

Gorgeous @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA. Isnt Benjamin a beauty? That is one of the most underrated of the Austins. She is very beautiful in person but it is very difficult to show the color in pictures.

Darcey is my favorite red Austin, always so generous.

I love your yard so much!!! How do you keep your roses on the slope watered?

Artist-FAK. I welcome garden friends, so anytime. 😊

Daniela, thank you. I agree. That iS my first bloom as I just planted Benjamin this spring. I can’t wait to see it fully covered in blooms. Such a statement rose. I am pleasantly surprised with Darcey, another new rose from this spring. I love the color.

Carol, lots and lots of sprinklers I keep moving around. I daydream of installing drip irrigation.

Mas, Your Benjamin really is a statement rose.

And you are right it is so under rated and Im not sure why

It is so beautiful !

Mas - that sounds difficult. Drip irrigation would be wonderful for you!

MasLovesRoses_z8a GA Love your garden and how you combine the colors together. What is the greenish/yellow carpet-border in front of the last pic? Thank you. All the colors of your roses are fantastic !!

straw, thank you! That is Lemon Coral Sedum by proven winners. It is sold as an annual but it is perennial here. It spreads like a weed which makes it a perfect groundcover

@strawchicago z5

you like the look of her coral lemon you can try Angelina sedum which looks very similar but it is very cold hardy. I use it here and it is evergreen. It is cold hardy to zone 3.

My Florentina did not bloom for the 1st 2 seasons, but she was the most vigorous, with glossiest healthiest foliage. 3rd year, she could not be stopped.

Now that's a RED!! Stunning bloom!!

Your Florentina is gorgeous!! I’m hoping mine reblooms a lot this year. She is still going strong

Mas, I have a Roberto Alagna coming ( thanks for the enabling ) I have read 2 different rose heights. A couple sites say 2 1/2 to 3 Help Me Find says 48 .

Trying to decide if Roberto can be a front row Joe or if he should be further back.

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw Yay! That is great news. You will love him! He is about 4.5 feet tall for me. So count on the 48. I assume the shorter height is for areas that get a lot of dieback.

I just wanted to bring this post back because Mas has such an incredible yard with some reallly beautiful roses

Well done Mas

I have always loved red roses, and this is lovely.

Thanks for bringing this thread back, Kristine. What a lovely garden, so well thought out, and the setting is gorgeous. I enjoyed viewing a second time as much as the first, Mas. How is your garden doing this year? I hope all is well. Diane
