Future rose bed with daylilies and some other assorted perennials. The purple thing
is our well house cover. The pink Abraham Darby will look good in front of this.
It was purple when we bought the house. I thought I'd leave it that color. It's definitely
not my favorite color. This photo was shot before I planted the David Austin roses.
At the left end I planted the William Shakespeare that is a purplish red color.
I thought it would show up with the Pink Double Knockouts as a backdrop
for it. In the middle section I planted a dark pink Portmeirion which will
have a bright pink Queen Elizabeth grandiflora, which gets really tall,
as it's backdrop as well as the purple well house. The photo at the top
of my blog, of pink roses, is a "Queen Elizabeth" from my previous house.
Then over to the far right (which you can't see) is where I put the Abraham Darby,
which will also have the well house as a backdrop. There will be a path in front of
this also. On the left side of the well house I want to plant some tall Hollyhock
called "Summer Carnival Rosy Pink" I want to underplant the Abraham Darby
with dark purple Salvia called "Blue Bedder" Here's a list of the names
of the newly acquired and planted daylilies put in the rose bed:
Dorothy Lambert, Happy Returns (I prefer this one over Stella d' Oro)
Janice Brown, Moonlit Masquerade, Navajo Princess,
Old-Fashioned Maiden, Red Volunteer, Russian Rhapsody,
and Lady Georgia. |
All very nice
