Oh my, Beautiful! I have 1 rosebush and it has one tiny bloom. I'm so jealous. ;>)

Very Nice!

I loved the fog yesterday but today it drizzled when I did not expect it-that made it much more muddy to work in the garden.

Lovely! I love all roses.
We have had our first flush and the thrips have arrived.

The last few days have been weird. Our high yesterday was 57. This is South Central Texas.

Beautiful blooms,..i am envious of your roses as i only have small buds at present,..beautiful picture.

Gosh that's beautiful. sigh.

Girlfriend,
You are amazing!!!
How do you do that???
That is a site to behold. Beautiful colour combinations and garden design.
Wowzers!

Definitely putting Marmalade Skies and Julia Child on my list. I'm rooting some cuttings of Climbing Pinkie. Of course mine will never look as gorgeous as yours.

Wow, that is beautiful!

Climbing Pinkie is a monster- get ready for some serious bloomage, Annie.

Ha Ha Ha,

Then I'll have two monsters - white and pink monster roses.

Plantmaven sent me a little cutting of her Gardenia rose many years ago. It just sat there for a long time, but after a few years, it went bonkers and now it is growing in several places, taking root all by itself and climbing over into other climbing roses trellises 15 feet away, without even so much as a fine howdy do. Talk about a monster rose. Holy Cow!

Last year I transplanted a cane that had rooted by itself on the ground in the rose garden, over underneath one of my pines to let it grow up into the tree, thinking how pretty that would be every spring. Well, Gardenia Rose must like acid soil and shade because she has gone absolutely nuts and has exceeded her growing space by about ten fold. Most of her canes worked their way to the ground, where they are now rooting without any help from me. Good grief...sneaky thing! Kathy warned me. Yes she did. I just had no idea!!! What a monster!

If climbing Pinkie is anything like Gardenia, my whole garden may disappear under a thorny mass of entangled canes like the castle in Sleeping Beauty. I'll just wake up one morning and have to start chopping my way out!

Thanks for the heads up about climbing Pinkie, hosenemesis.
I better get my loppers sharpened and ready.

Gorgeous as always, Renee. California must be next to the Garden of Eden for flowers.

Kathi, that last photo is really beautiful. What a cascade of color.

Hi Kathi,..love that yellow rose,..and the second big pink rose,..i have a rose similar to your third but it has no name.

Awesome display of blooms from that Geranium,..i could do with that one.

Philip

Wow, hosenemesis. Your roses are absolutely gorgeous!

I love trailing Geraniums. That is a perfect example of why, too. Gorgeous!

I got a piece of that red geranium a couple months ago,and I have one of those cactus in the corner of my backyard,and am thinking of doing the same thing. I love the way it looks,and it sure would brighten up that corner a whole lot,and right next to my cactus is my yellow plum tree,what a show of color that will be in time to come.

Annie I too love trailing geraniums,in fact I love most geraniums,and am always trading and swapping with friends and neighbors.

I love trailing Geraniums. That is a perfect example of why, too. Gorgeous!

I don't know why my comment about the trailing Geranium got posted three times, but I swear! I didn't do it! :)
