Roses

JFK Rose. This is the rose that was planted
on the outside of the fence by the road
by the previous owner. I moved it last
summer to the front of the shade garden. It
survived the extreme heat and
now seems to be very happy in it's new
place. Behind this rose
are the white camellias
and white azaleas.

Pink Double Knockouts with the
red Mr Lincoln in the background. This
is the long row of 7 Knockouts
that I planted in front of the fence last spring.
 Eventually they will form one
 long wall of roses and hide
the chain link fence. 

Abraham Darby David Austin
English rose. I have
to stick my nose in this one
every time I am near it.

Pairings

I paired the Spin-off iris with Graham Thomas
David Austin rose. The rose finally opened. We
had a very nice rain yesterday and this
morning.

Footloose iris with JFK rose in the shade garden. I have now
found my white iris. I will move it around
later on.

Full Tide iris with azalea.

azalea in the shade garden.

Still Enjoying The Roses While They Last

This is the one I think is JFK - it has a wonderful smell
and looks great over with the white and pink azaleas.
Won't be long before the white camellias bloom.

I'm really enjoying the Cinco De Mayo rose. It
had quite a few buds on it that have opened
today.

The sunflower is slowing opening.

I've never seen this color zinnia before in my garden.
I had planted a packet of white with red
stripes, but not yellow with red. It is
very pretty though.

Bell peppers are growing really well with the cooler weather.
I like the red color.
