OoooOooo So pretty! I love all that new red foliage too. It contrasts nicely with the blooms. Your garden looks lush from all the rain.

That's awfully pretty, Jackie.

I do hope mine develops along the line of yours, Jackie. Mine gets some Spring freeze damage but it is getting better as it gets older. Yours is beautiful.

Mine, early on in this garden, was a martyr to powdery mildew, but I would likely be better at siting it now, if I tried again, knowing better what my microclimates and other conditions are. Lovely!

I had Safrano years ago in another place. It was very vigorous and quickly grew from a band into a large shrub. The flowers were very beautiful, hard to capture their beauty in photos, though yours do a great job of it. I especially like the first one with new red growth, buds, bloom, and hips all at once.

Jeri, thank you for the gorgeous photos.

They're gorgeous!
